Viking Supply Ships will close its office in St. John’s, Newfoundland effective 28 April 2016.
Future commercial activities in the Newfoundland and Eastern-Canada region will be followed up closely by dedicated personnel from the Viking Supply Ships’ headquarter in Copenhagen and the chartering division in the Kristiansand office.
"The closure is an effect of the deteriorated market conditions within the oil and gas industry and is a measure to further strengthen the focus on cost efficiency within the company," Viking said.
The company did not release information on job losses due to the office closing.
