Seven Viking is ‘Ship of the Year’
The next generation Inspection, Maintenance and Repair (IMR) vessel Seven Viking, designed and built by Ulstein, was announced ‘Ship of the Year 2013’ by the maritime magazine Skipsrevyen at Nor-Shipping on 4 June 2013.
“This award is testimony to the result of the collective efforts of Eidesvik, Subsea 7 and Ulstein, and a great inspiration to our long-term innovation efforts,” says CEO in Ulstein Group, Gunvor Ulstein.
The cutting edge vessel was the cover story in the June/July 2013 ShipBuilding Industry (Vol. 7, Issue 2). Designed for operations in the harshest environments, Seven Viking was delivered from Ulstein Verft in January and is co-owned by Subsea 7 and Eidesvik. She has been working for Statoil in the North Sea since February.
