Stena Drilling, which is the contractor of the petroleum platforms located in Las Palmas, has announced an employment adjustment affecting 60 employees (13% of its workforce in Las Palmas). The company decision is based on expectations that the company have to be awarded new contracts in West Africa petroleum platforms. Most of the workers affected by the measure have high qualification levels.
