A central part of the agreement is fleet-wide spare parts coverage. The SLA also includes annual preventive maintenance, technical support, and crew training for Antarctic Endurance, a krill harvesting vessel delivered by VARD in 2019 and equipped with a complete SeaQ package covering bridge, automation, power and communications systems. The ship operates year-round in the extreme conditions of the Antarctic Ocean.
With scheduled maintenance and guaranteed response times, the SLA provides a structured framework for efficiency and resilience, reducing the risk of unexpected failures.
