Rolls-Royce forecasts a reduction in the number of employees in Marine Division globally with 800 during the first half of 2017. The geographical location of jobs has yet to be announced but since the majority of operations of Rolls Royce Marine are based in Norway, it's likely that cuts will affect Norwegian workers.
In September 2016 there was another internal restructuring announcement which targeted 200 middle management positions worldwide.
