VIKING Life-Saving Equipment acquires service operation in Tromsø, Norway 

VIKING Life-Saving Equipment is expanding its network of owned service stations in Norway by acquiring the safety department of Tromsø-based company Lindrup Martinsen AS. The move will ensure VIKING can deliver even better service to customers in Northern Norway, as it expands its business in the region. 

Lindrup Martinsen has been a service partner for VIKING for fifteen years. VIKING and Lindrup Martinsen have now agreed that VIKING will take over Lindrup Martinsen’s safety department, including 16 employees. VIKING will operate out of the existing Lindrup Martinsen facilities in Tromsø city center and Alta.

Today, VIKING has several owned service stations in Norway – in Arendal, Bergen, Oslo, Haugesund, and Aalesund – as well as 14 service partners across the country. The new station in Tromsø gives VIKING a permanent operation in Northern Norway, facilitating further growth in a region where demand for maritime life-saving equipment and safety systems is expected to increase, especially within fish farming and ferry operations.
