  • VIKING offers full-scope safety solutions for ship design, from concept to delivery phases.
  • Collaborative safety approach integrates solutions into vessel design, avoiding reconfiguration costs.
  • VIKING's experience ensures compliance and space optimisation with minimal deck footprint systems.

VIKING’s experience indicates that ship safety solutions are optimised when they are scoped, designed, and incorporated into the vessel design from the outset of a newbuilding project. Any benefits of short-term savings at this stage can quickly evaporate as operational realities take over. As a result, VIKING recommends a collaborative approach to safety at the first stages of ship design.

Touching on every aspect of the storage, deployment, and servicing of equipment, VIKING also works with designers, builders, and owners to ensure that their safety solutions are optimised for aesthetic appeal and design integration, while avoiding potential reconfiguration costs further down the line.
