TGS Strengthens Its Position as an Industry Leader in Emergency Preparedness

TGS continues to reinforce its reputation as one of the energy sector’s most prepared and safety-driven organizations, following the successful completion of its annual full-scale emergency response exercise. Conducted across multiple global locations with participation from both offshore and onshore teams, the exercise demonstrated the company’s robust capability to respond effectively to complex and high-pressure situations while safeguarding people, partners and operations. 

At the heart of this effort is TGS’ three-tier Emergency Response Organization, which ensures seamless coordination from vessel crews to operational teams and executive leadership. This structured approach enables rapid decision-making, clear communication, and efficient allocation of resources when it matters most. 

Demonstrating World-Class Preparedness 

The annual full-scale exercise focused on strengthening skills, validating TGS’ Emergency Response Plans, and enhancing collaboration across internal stakeholders and external partners. Teams practiced crisis communication, operational coordination, media engagement and a live press briefing to mirror real-world pressures and expectations. Observers from Maersk Training Crisis Management highlighted the professionalism and readiness demonstrated throughout the event. 

This commitment to rigorous, realistic training ensures that TGS can respond swiftly and effectively to any emergency while  protecting lives, minimizing operational impact and maintaining the highest standards of corporate responsibility.

“Exercise Hyperion exemplifies our values in action. Our crews and onshore teams responded with exceptional professionalism and coordination. Their performance underscores our strong safety culture at TGS and reaffirms our unwavering commitment to safeguarding our people, our partners and our operations,” said Carel Hooijkaas, EVP Marine Data Acquisition.
