*** ALL PGS SEISMIC EMPLOYEES CAN NOW JOIN – REGARDLESS OF NATIONALITY ***

The Benefits of Joining Parat –
Seismic Union

The Seismic Union is the local union in PGS, representing offshore seismic employees for more than 20 years. We are affiliated with the Norwegian trade union Parat which has more than 43 000 members. Parat has its main office in Oslo and is the only union actively representing PGS seismic offshore employees.

The recent re-flagging of all PGS vessels to NIS (Norwegian International Ship Register), means that all PGS seismic employees can now join Parat – Seismic Union REGARDLESS OF NATIONALITY, on equal legal terms with Norwegian employees.

The NIS registration is highly significant because now Norwegian employment law is applicable to all seismic employees and not just Norwegians, as long as the employees place of work is on a NIS vessel.

The union fee for 2024 is NOK 572- a month.
The fee is tax deductible if you have had a working period in Norway.
The fee will be deducted on your pay slip each month.
