Description
Maersk Drilling, drilling rig operator, informed that the COVID-19 crisis and an oil market that has experienced major price declines have prompted the company to reduce its staff in the North Sea by 250-300 positions. The redundancies will take place in Denmark, Norway and the UK, without specifying how many jobs are cut where.
Maersk Drilling leases drilling rigs and drilling vessels. Therefore, the company's results are related, among other things, to ups and downs in the oil industry.
Headquartered in Denmark, Maersk Drilling employs 2,850 people.
