Acergy Viking Prolongs Siemens Gamesa Work

Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy has extended the charter of Eidesvik Offshore’s vessel Acergy Viking by an additional year.

The new firm period for the vessel will end in January 2022, after which further options are possible.

“We are very pleased with the good cooperation established with Siemens Gamesa, and we look forward to continuing our service deliveries to them,” said Eidesvik CEO Jan Fredrik Meling.

Eidesvik entered into an agreement with Siemens Gamesa for the deployment of Acergy Viking in February 2016, when it was chartered for a period of nine months on German offshore wind projects.

Since then, the vessel had secured a number of charter extension for the turbine manufacturer.
