Branding

Viking Life-Saving Equipment company van. ”Viking Service Esbjerg. Når hvert liv tæller" ["When every life counts"]. Company founded 1960 as Nordisk Gummibådfabrik (Nordic Rubber Dinghy Factory), later renamed Viking Life-Saving Equipment. “Life-rafts, safety and rescue products for the maritime, offshore (oil, gas & wind) and fire sectors.” From http://www.viking-life.com: Founded ‘for fishermen making their living on the formidable North Sea”. “After the terrible loss of life through drowning suffered by merchant sailors during the Second World War, there was a general frustration that not enough was being done to prevent this otherwise avoidable fate. This was echoed by families of fishermen in Denmark, whose husbands, brothers and sons faced the perils of the North Sea on a daily basis.”
