Viking Supply Ships has been elected as a winner of this year’s “Spotlight on Arctic Technology” award at the Arctic Technology conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, the company said in its press release.
During the winter of 2013, Viking Supply Ships performed Ice-trials of company Icebreaker Loke Viking-class Ice 1A AHTS. The tests showed that the vessel performed good at ice-breaking, ridge penetration, maneuvering and channel clearing. Results showed that the Loke Viking class' performance in light/moderate ice conditions is at the same level as that of Arctic purpose built supply Ice-breakers.
Viking Supply Ships has, during the last 15-20 years spent large resources on improving company competence and expertise within arctic offshore, in order to provide company clients with even better services.
