One of Eidesvik Offshore's platform supply vessels has been fixed to Aker BP on a 12-month contract in Norwegian waters.

The 6,200-dwt Viking Lady (built 2009) will begin work immediately on the contract, which Eidesvik said may be extended.

Neither the contract's value nor its extension options were disclosed.

“We are very pleased that Viking Lady becomes a part of Aker BP’s operative fleet, and look forward to further developing the cooperation under the frame agreement," Jan Fredrik Meling, chief executive of Eidesvik Offshore, said in a release.

The contract was awarded under the two companies' three-year frame agreement, which was announced on 1 March.

AIS tracking data shows Viking Lady was mobilised during the past week from Stavanger to the Helgelandsbase oil services hub at Sandnessjoen, north-west Norway.
