This restructuring is deemed necessary in the face of difficult economic conditions in the oil and gas market. The company has started consultation with employees and employee representatives in Norway and the UK. It is pending in France. Subsea 7 will reduce its fleet by up to 11 vessels, "not only to adapt to present market challenges but also to maintain our competitiveness and the long-term viability of our business", according to the CEO.
