Maersk in North Sea lay-offs

摘要

MAERSK Drilling is to make hundreds of North Sea workers redundant due to cancelled or delayed rig contracts brought about by the coronavirus crisis and oil price crash. Maersk Drilling last week said it is starting consultations with trade unions and employee representatives about job cuts in Denmark, Norway and the UK. Chief executive Jorn Madsen said he expects the consultations will lead to 250 to 300 redundancies. Maersk said delayed or cancelled tenders and projects have adversely affected commercial prospects.
