GC Rieber Shipping (OSE: RISH) is a Norwegian shipping company that operates offshore subsea support vessels, marine seismic vessels and polar logistics and research expeditions. Based in Bergen, Norway it is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. A major owner is GC Rieber.
The company dates back to the establishment of G.C. Rieber & Co. AS in 1879. The company started with shipping in the 1930s and soon entered both the polar exporation field and in 1965 the seismic shipping field in the North Sea. Through the 1970s the company specialized in Arctic and Antarctic research expeditions and in 1981 the division was established as a separate company, Rieber Shipping A/S. The company has since established an in-house design department for the specialized vessels.
