Norway’s unions representing workers on drilling rigs and floating production platforms reached a wage deal on Thursday evening, ahead of a midnight deadline to avert a strike, labour unions and the employers’ association said.
The unions had threatened to call out more than 600 members employed on Transocean’s Encourage rig, Odfjell Technology’s Linus rig, AKOFS Offshore’s Seafarer well intervention vessel and Equinor-operated Gullfaks B platform.
