Veritas DGC Inc. has taken delivery of the SR/V Veritas Vantage, the third Viking-class high-specification 3D seismic vessel in its fleet, which replaces a lower capacity vessel that was retired earlier this year. All three Viking-class vessels, the Veritas Viking, the Veritas Viking II and the Veritas Vantage, were built by Mjellem & Karlsen in Bergen, Norway, and are owned and operated by Eidesvik Shipping A/S. The Veritas Vantage was christened at Eidesvik's facility in Bomlo, Norway, on April 19.

The vessel is configured to deploy up to ten long streamers and is equipped with the latest Guardian solid streamer technology from TUS, as well as many other technical innovations. The Veritas Vantage is due to commence a program of work in the North Sea, which will continue through the summer season.
