Viking Supply Ships is set for a management change after chief executive Trond Myklebust submitted his resignation at his own request.

Myklebust will remain in the role until 1 August 2026, giving the Nasdaq Stockholm-listed offshore vessel owner time to appoint a new chief executive.

Chairman Bengt Rem thanked Myklebust for his work over the past decade, citing his role during the company’s restructuring and the improvement in offshore market conditions.

Myklebust joined Viking Supply Ships in 2017. Before that, he held senior management posts, including chief executive roles at Bourbon Norway, Kongsberg Evotec and Fjord Shipping.

The leadership change comes as Viking Supply Ships continues to strengthen its fleet. Earlier this year, the company acquired the 2019-built AHTS vessel Maersk Maker, which has been delivered and renamed Tor Viking.
