TransAtlantic received delivery of the AHTS vessel Loke Viking at the end of last week from the Astilleros Zamakona shipyard, in Bilbao, Spain.

The christening ceremony took place on May 20. The godmother was Eva Skaarberg, wife of President Rolf Skaarberg from Norwegian Viking Supply Ship AS.

Loke Viking is contracted by the UK oil company Cairn Energy to assist in oil drilling west of Greenland. The assignment also includes the two AHTS vessels, Balder Viking and Vidar Viking.

Loke Viking is the first new-build in a series of four that are being built in the shipyard in Spain. The sister vessel, Njord Viking, is scheduled for delivery in November 2010. The vessel series is specifically designed to meet demands for efficient, safe and environmentally friendly offshore management in areas with severe ice conditions.
