Swedish shipowner Viking Supply Ships (VSS) will be shutting down their Aberdeen office as of 1 July 2015, according to a statement by the company today.

“All administrative functions will be absorbed by the head office in Copenhagen. VSS will keep the existing crew composition on the vessels,” the company says.
