Life below water

The sea is our workplace. We must carry out operations with regard for fish, marine environments and the ecosystems on which we depend.

Safe people mean safer operations

Good operations start with the people doing the work. At Abyss, we value clear procedures, strong cooperation and a working environment built on responsibility, respect and professional development.

A safe working day

Systematic HSE management, risk assessments and incident follow-up support safer operations for employees, clients and partners.

Diversity and respect

Abyss must be an inclusive workplace that shows respect and care, with zero tolerance for discrimination and harassment.

Development and responsibility

We support professional development, skills training and responsibility in an environment where cooperation is essential to good operations.

A smaller climate footprint in operations

Our main environmental challenge is associated with moving vessels, equipment and personnel. We therefore work to reduce unnecessary transport, optimise routes and assess more environmentally friendly solutions when renewing our fleet.

  • Ethical business practices
  • Respect for human rights and labour rights
  • Requirements for suppliers and subcontractors
