Global safety products manufacturer and service provider, VIKING Life-Saving Equipment has announced winning a major contract to build and supply a VIKING Norsafe Munin S1200 patrol boat for the Norwegian police force.
Police patrol and rescue boats
The vessel, which will be built in Arendal, Norway and delivered in December, will carry out police patrol and rescue missions in the East Police District covering the 38 municipalities from Gardermoen to the Swedish border.
Seeing off competition from five other providers, the company scored high when it came to quality and price in what is seen as a breakthrough order in their police patrol boat market.
