Workers trade union Unite has announced that its members working on the Equinor Mariner platform have voted in favour of strike action.
The union claim that 83.4% of Unite members on a 80.1 per cent turnout rejected a final pay, terms and conditions offer made by Aker Solutions management.
Around 200 of the Aker Solutions workers are involved in the prospective industrial action which is likely to take place between early August to early October.
