Press release

2 nd November 2015

Viking Supply Ships A/S lays up Odin Viking as part of market adaption plan and notifies impairment of part of the fleet.

As a direct consequence of the poor market conditions within the conventional AHTS market, Viking Supply Ships A/S has decided to lay up Odin Viking with immediate effect. The company will commence negotiations with the employees and respective unions in order to assess the crewing situation going forward with the ambition to minimize lay-offs.

Viking Supply Ships A/S has already implemented a cost reduction program, reducing the yearly operational costs with MNOK 45. As a response to the weak market, the company will further initiate a new Market Adaption Program (MAP), with an ambition of additional yearly savings of up to MNOK 70.

As a result of parts of the fleet being laid up, the company will also make impairment on the PSV fleet, which will have a negative effect on the third quarter results to be published 12th November.
