Description

STX Europe Florø (Ship-building) has announced that they have to lay-off around 150 employees due to lack of demand for their boats. When they have finished their orders (march 2010), they will try to enter new markets (maintenance). According to Kjetil Bollestad (CEO), STX Florø estimates that they then only will need 60-80 of the workers.
