The vessel will be used in British sector to perform accommodation services and walk-to-work duties, and commencement will be in April 2020.
"We are pleased with securing backlog in a continuous challenging market. Polar Queen has proven her success in the walk-to-work market, and we are proud to see that the vessel and her capabilities are recognized by our clients", said Einar Ytredal, CEO of GC Rieber Shipping.
