As early as in 1850s Tromsø became the centre of Polar sea catches in the Arctic region, while in the early 1900s the city was the starting point for a host of expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic regions, something that gave the city the nickname Gateway to the Artic.

Troms Offshore AS is a private owned company operating offshore service vessels and other special vessels related to research, sub sea and coastguard operation.

Tromsø - the capital of Northern Norway at the same north latitude as Alaska and Siberia. As early as in 1850s Tromsø became the centre of Polar sea catches in the Arctic region, while in the early 1900s the city was the starting point for a host of expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic regions, something that gave the city the nickname Gateway to the Artic.

The regional history of Arctic expeditions and the large fisheries in the Barent Sea has brewed many excellent sailors from our region.

Based on the former TFDS Offshore AS (1985) and through a management buy out, Troms Offshore AS was founded in 2005. The fleet consists of both owned vessels and vessels on management from other ship owners. The offshore fleet consists of both AHTS (anchor handling tug supply vessel) and PSV (platform supply vessel), supporting offshore activity world wide.

Troms Offshore vessels are presently working in the Barent Sea, North Sea, Black Sea, West Africa, Persian Gulf, India as well as the Antarctic.

At the end of 2005 the fleet consists of 13 vessels, operating from the Barent Sea in the north to Antarctic in the south and to Singapore in the east.

The operation is based on a clear focus on safety and quality. The company’s superior goal is that our operations shall not cause accidents, damages or losses and that safety at sea is ensured. The company’s operations shall take consideration of the environment, particularly the marine environment, through continuous improvement of our operations.
