Sweden's Viking Supply Ships has appointed Trond Myklebust as its new CEO.

He will take over at the Christen Sveaas-controlled owner in January.

Myklebust is currently the CEO of Fjord Shipping.

Viking announced in September that CEO Christian Berg was stepping down during its financial restructuring.

The company did not reveal the reasons for Berg's departure but added that he would take on various projects and act as an advisor to the board of directors.
