The AHTS Magne Viking, owned by Viking Supply Ships A/S, is the first vessel to become compliant with the new IMO Polar Code, DNV GL and the Danish Maritime Authority confirmed. “Having followed the development of the Polar Code for some years, it is a great achievement to finally survey the first vessel to comply with the Code,” says Morten Mejlænder Larsen, responsible for the Arctic and Polar activities in DNV GL Maritime .

Viking Supply Ships opted for an early implementation of the IMO Polar Code and the process has included updates of vessel and equipment as well as providing the required documentation.
