Wintershall Dea has declared an option to extend the contract for the supply vessel, Viking Princess, from January 2023 in direct continuation of the current contract, extending the firm period to July 2023.
Viking Princess was the world’s first offshore vessel with a battery hybrid solution replacing a traditional generator set. In November 2021, the vessel was also equipped with a shore power system.
CEO & President of Eidesvik Offshore ASA, Gitte Gard Talmo, commented:
“This contract extension shows satisfaction with the performance of the vessel and our crew, and we look forward to continuing supporting the company’s activities on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.”
