Norway's Eidesvik Offshore and Golden Energy Offshore have become the latest owners to secure work in a growing offshore wind farm sector.

Eidesvik said on Friday its 98-loa accommodation vessel Acergy Viking (built 2007) has been chartered over the long-term to Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy in Germany.

The contract will be in direct continuation of the ship's current deal, moving the firm period out to January 2027.
