Viking Supply Ships acquires high-spec anchor-handling vessel

The vessel was built in Norway in 2019. Delivery to the Swedish owner is expected at the end of March 2026 and, on delivery, the vessel will be renamed Tor Viking.

Kistefos entered into an agreement to acquire the vessel from Maersk Supply Service Brazil in August 2025. 

Viking Supply Ships, a leading provider of anchor handling and ice-breaking services, will acquire the vessel on the same terms as agreed between Kistefos and Maersk.

Following the acquisition, Viking Supply Ships will control a fleet of eight anchor-handlers, of which four are Ice Class 1A and two are Ice Class 1A Super.
