The Naming Ceremony for Viking Neptun took place at Skagenkaien Stavanger, this weekend.

Godmother of the subsea construction vessel is Patricia Pilenko, wife of Thierry Pilenko, Chairman of the Board and CEO of Technip.

Eidesvik entered into a contract with Kleven Maritime for building of a large subsea vessel back in 2012 and it represents the largest single investment in the company’s history.
