The BiFab yard at Arnish on Lewis could close within days after work on the Beatrice project finished
A commitment to “support” all three Scottish yards has been pledged by the Canadian owners of BiFab today.
DF Barnes, an oil and gas fabrication firm from Newfoundland, announced a “long term commitment to supporting all three yards at Arnish, Burntisland and Methil” in a statement this morning.
Concern reached crisis point last week as the core workforce of 400 and 1,000 contractors was to be cut, with only seven workers being offered part-time positions.
