The latest, and one of the largest of its kind, is the signing of a liferaft exchange contract with Stolt Tankers BV worldwide. With a global fleet of more than 70 deep sea parcel tankers, and more than 80 coastal tankers and inland tankers, Stolt Tankers operates one of the most technically advanced tanker fleets in the world.<\/p>\n
VIKING maintains a worldwide exchange pool for liferaft servicing at VIKING stations in 42 strategic ports across the globe. Stolt Tankers vessels will receive VIKING liferafts, which will simply be exchanged as their certificates expire.<\/p>\n
Stolt Tankers procurement management team believes the new contract offers many advantages for their company. \u201cHaving a single point of contact for Stolt Tankers for all its liferaft management will save us a lot of time and reduce the number of interventions alongside the vessel. At the same time, the transparency and fixed cost basis of the \u2018shipowner agreements\u2019 make it much easier for us to predict our servicing costs over the next decade. And in this business, predictability can be worth gold.\u201d<\/p>\n
The choice of VIKING as supplier of the contract was influenced by the company\u2019s wide range of options within the agreement, and by the quality of advice provided by VIKING\u2019s safety experts. \u201cWe feel very comfortable with the way VIKING has addressed our servicing requirements,\u201d says Stolt Tankers procurement team. \u201cThey have been in the marine safety business for fifty-odd years, so they were able to demonstrate both the experience and the flexibility we were looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
