Based in Svendborg, Denmark, Viking Nadiro develops and manufactures a unique hydraulic system for lowering lifeboats and releasing them in the water in emergencies. The Drop-in-Ball system is marketed and sold through Viking\u2019s global sales organization and complies with the international SOLAS regulations.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have succeeded in activating our global sales organization, particularly in the cargo segment, but also in the passenger and offshore markets. The customers trust in the quality of our system, which is much simpler and easier to operate than traditional solutions, and we see shipping companies making voluntary, non-compliance-driven replacements of systems to improve the safety level,\u201d said Henrik Helsinghof, Director of Viking Nadiro.<\/p>\n
To meet the new SOLAS requirements, vessels must have an approved hook system installed by 2019. Viking Nadiro has the strongest position in North European markets and has a high market share among the world’s largest shipping companies.<\/p>\n
Viking says the volume of orders in the cargo and passenger markets is on the increase, and Henrik Helsinghof expects the success to continue throughout this financial year and the next. Viking acquired Nadiro A\/S on July 1, 2015 to strengthen its position on the lifeboat market.<\/p>\n
