Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Loke-Viking

In a strategic move to enhance operational efficiency, Viking Supply Ships (VSS), a prominent supply shipping company based in Sweden, has announced the transition of four of its Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) vessels from the Danish International Ship Register (DIS) to the Norwegian flag. This important update was revealed in a statement on Thursday by CO-Sea, Denmark's largest maritime trade union. The vessels affected by this change include Loke Viking, Njord Viking, Magne Viking, and Brage Viking. As part of the transition, all fixed and long-term crew members will receive new contracts under the Norwegian registry (NOR) as their existing DIS contracts are scheduled for termination. This transition aims to simplify fleet management and bolster Viking Supply Ships' competitiveness within the ever-evolving offshore market. To address employee concerns and discuss the transition details, the Danish Metals & Maritime Department (DMMA) has organized a meeting with relevant Norwegian trade unions and Viking Supply Ships for January 5, 2017. This meeting will be pivotal in outlining the specifics of the employee contract transition as the company aligns its fleet under the Norwegian registry. As the maritime industry faces increasing competition, Viking Supply Ships remains committed to optimizing its operations for future success.
