Job cuts at oil terminal 'significant' says union

by Nathan

At least 29 jobs have been cut at the Flotta oil terminal in Orkney.

The trade union Unite has described the job losses at the site – which leave a work force of 156 – as a "significant reduction".

The Flotta terminal has been a critical piece of North Sea infrastructure since 1977.

In a statement, main contractor Petrofac said it had collaborated with terminal operators Repsol UK and Unite to introduce "job sharing and a voluntary redundancy scheme to reduce the number of colleagues affected."
