BOMLO, Norway – Eidesvik Offshore subsidiary Eidesvik Neptun has agreed to sell the construction support vessel Viking Neptun to Belgian engineering group DEME.
The transaction should be completed in 4Q, following the conclusion of the vessel’s current contract with Havfram.
In addition, the two parties are discussing scenarios under which Eidesvik and/or its crew could provide management services to DEME for the vessel post-completion.
The Viking Neptun currently has a turntable capable of handling 4,500 metric tons of cables below deck, but DEME said it will add a second, 7,000-metric ton cable turntable on deck.
The 145-m (476-ft) long vessel is also equipped with a large, unobstructed deck and a 400-metric ton active heave compensated knuckle boom crane.
