The Norwegian offshore vessel owner accepted delivery today of the 145 meter long construction vessel Viking Neptune from Kleven AS shipyard.
This ice-class 1B vessel is kitted out for serious offshore work with two cranes of 400 ton and 100 ton capacities, respectively, and a carousel for laying flexible pipe with capacity of 4400 tons.
