Seismic giant TGS is vacating its base at Fjordbase in Florø, leaving a prime waterside industrial area without a tenant as local management begins the search for a replacement, firdaposten.no reported. The departure marks the end of a multi-year tenure that began under the company’s previous name before corporate consolidation reshaped its operations.
Departure of a Seismic Giant From Florø
Petroleum Geo-Services originally established its operations at the western Norway industrial hub on October 8, 2018. The company operated under its original banner before adopting the TGS name following a corporate merger in 2024. Now, the enterprise is winding down its physical presence at the site.
The transition leaves a distinct footprint along the quayside. TGS’s seismic vessel, the Ramform Atlas, is currently docked at the facility while the company prepares its final exit from the base.
Fjordbase Management Seeks New Industrial Tenants
Property managers at the industrial park are moving quickly to fill the upcoming vacancy. Bjørn Erik Kringstad, head of sales, marketing, and communication at Fjord Base, and Geir Norevik, head of buildings, are leading the effort to secure a new commercial client for the waterside property, firdaposten.no reported. The area currently occupied by the departing seismic firm requires a tenant suited for heavy maritime industrial support.
Management has not yet disclosed prospective negotiations for the site. The open acreage and dock access represent a strategic asset within the local supply chain ecosystem.
