Eidesvik Offshore has seen its contract with Harkand terminated after the Oaktree-backed subsea company went into administration.

The Oslo-listed owner said that administrators informed the company of the cancellation of the charter for the 130-loa Viking Poseidon (built 2009).

Eidesvik said the vessel had been in lay-up since October 2015 and its maturity was originally set for January 2017.

It went into a charter contract since its initial delivery in 2009.
