The dual-fueled 2008-built Viking Queen will start the new contract with Equinor in January next year, in direct continuation of the current contract.

Eidesvik said in a statement the new contract would last until May 2022, with options for further extensions.

Besides LNG propulsion, the 92.3 meters long Viking Queen features a battery hybrid system.
