Emtunga Offshore, a firm that produces service modules for oil platforms and heavy industry, has announced that it cut 80 to 90 jobs at its site in Vara from January 2007 to July 2007. The firm employed 250 at Vara prior to the restructuring, and the lost jobs were ‘offshored’ to Arendal in Norway.
