What Eidesvik does

Eidesvik Offshore ASA is a Norwegian publicly listed offshore vessel operator (Oslo Børs: EIOF) founded in 1978 and headquartered in Bømlo, Norway, with 501-1,000 employees. The company owns and operates a fleet of purpose-built Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs) and subsea inspection, maintenance and repair (IMR) vessels, with historical deployment across the North Sea, West Africa, Brazil, and South Africa. Core customers are major North Sea oil & gas operators — Equinor, Aker BP, Wintershall Dea, DNO/Sval Energi, Wellesley Petroleum — supplemented by offshore wind and subsea customers such as DEME, Reach Subsea, Agalas, and Subsea7.

The company's fleet technology stack is centred on low-emission propulsion. Eidesvik launched the world's first LNG multifuel-powered PSV (Viking Energy) in 2003 with Equinor, and now operates what it describes as the largest fleet of environmentally friendly PSVs featuring LNG-powered engines, battery hybrid energy storage, and shore power systems. The flagship innovation is the Apollo Project: a consortium with Equinor, Wärtsilä, Breeze Ship Design, and Maritime Clean Tech to retrofit Viking Energy with an ammonia dual-fuel combustion engine, targeting 70%+ GHG reduction. The project is supported by EUR 5 million from the EU Horizon Europe programme and is in the dock at Halsnøy Dokk for completion in autumn 2026. The subsea and offshore wind segments are expanding through joint ventures — Viking Reach (50.1% with Reach Subsea), Eidesvik Seven Chartering AS (with Subsea7), and Eidesvik Agalas AS (50.1% with Agalas, two newbuild CSVs at Sefine Shipyard, Turkey, with NSK Ship Design).

Revenue is generated primarily through multi-year time charter contracts with major operators, supplemented by ship management fees (e.g., DEME's Viking Neptun) and spot market utilisation. FY2025 preliminary revenue was NOK 785.1 million with EBITDA of NOK 293.8 million (37% margin), and fleet utilisation of 97%. Consolidated backlog stood at NOK 3.2 billion at Q4 2025 (+18.8% year-on-year). The company pays regular dividends (NOK 0.20/share for 2025/2026) and is 59.86% controlled by Eidesvik Invest AS, with public float and family board representation (Lauritz and Kjetil Eidesvik). GTM is exclusively direct enterprise sales to large E&P and offshore energy operators, with no intermediary or distribution channels.

Revenue model

1. Time Charter Contracts (Vessel Chartering): Eidesvik generates the majority of its revenue through time charter contracts for its offshore supply vessels (PSVs) and subsea IMR vessels. Contracts are typically multi-year with firm periods and extension options. Charter rates are determined by contract terms, with the company having both firm contract backlog and exposure to spot market rates.
2. Ship Management Services: Eidesvik provides full technical management, crewing, and operation of vessels owned by third parties under ship management agreements (e.g., DEME for Viking Neptun). Revenue is generated through management fees.
3. Fleet Utilisation and Spot Market Revenue: Revenue is also earned through utilisation of vessels in the spot market when not on long-term charter, exposing the company to offshore energy market conditions.
