Oil firm Maersk warns of 200 jobs at risk

Oil firm Maersk has warned that about 200 jobs could be at risk.

The company said it was facing "ongoing challenges" in the market and was consulting on a "three weeks on" and "three weeks off" rota change.

Maersk also aims to cease production from its Janice installation next year.

A spokesperson said: "It is possible that an estimated 200 onshore and offshore roles may be affected as a result of the proposals. This is a very unsettling period for colleagues."

The statement added: "The business will offer as much support throughout the process as possible and remain focused on maintaining safe and reliable operations."

The Janice installation is 150 miles south east of Aberdeen.
