Viking Supply Ships Purchases Three Additional Complete ROV Handling Systems from Evotec.

February 14, 2025

Viking Supply Ships is upgrading three vessels, and once again, the choice fell on Evotec equipment. The delivery includes advanced ROV handling equipment for subsea operations on three of Viking’s ships. The delivery features Evotec’s unique SRPM technology, which is highly efficient and reduces energy consumption.

The requirement was for an upgraded system that could be integrated into existing vessels. A specially designed L-LARS system, combined with the efficient and unique Evotec EWDS winch solution, addresses Viking Supply Ships’ challenges regarding space and weight. The equipment is scheduled for delivery from December 2025 to March 2026.

“We chose Evotec as our supplier because they are committed, solution-oriented, and deliver high-quality products,” says Trond Myklebust, CEO of Viking Supply Ships.

Similar LARS system as the one Evotec will deliver for the next three vessels for Viking.

“The offshore industry needs new technological solutions. Viking Supply Ships needed to achieve this within limited space in the hangar. For these projects, we are delivering complete drive containers, which make installation much easier and faster at the shipyard,” says Geir Henning Kalvatn, Sales Manager for Offshore and Wind.

For deliveries in 2025 and 2026, Evotec has agreements for several new LARS systems, with more currently under negotiation. CEO Jogeir Romestrand is pleased with the progress.

“Our engineers and installers create solutions that improve the offshore industry with efficient and sustainable innovations.”
