Neste Shipping completes its statutory employer-employee negotiations
Neste Oil's shipping subsidiary, Neste Shipping Oy, has completed the statutory
employer-employee negotiations initiated on 4 February this year. Following the
negotiation process, Neste Shipping has decided to terminate the ship and crew
management agreements in respect of three vessels jointly owned with the
Swedish-based Stena Group and time-chartered to Neste Shipping with agreements
ending 2017.
As a result of the termination of these agreements, the number of Neste Shipping
personnel, both at sea and in the office, will be adjusted by 124 persons. 21
persons will be made redundant and the other reductions will take place through
voluntary retirement and the termination of fixed-term employment contracts as
allowed for under the terms of these contracts. The reductions in personnel will
take place mainly during 2013.
These measures are the result of Neste Shipping's need to improve its
profitability and secure the continuity of its operations. Improved
profitability will be essential to enable Neste Shipping to make the major
statutory environmental investments that will be required between 2014 and
2017, deal with rising costs, and progress with other initiatives needed to
secure the continuity of its operations into the future.
The goal of the overall efficiency improvement program is to make the business
profitable by increasing revenue and reducing costs by a total of around EUR 15
million annually. The decisions now taken will save approx. EUR 4 million in
fixed costs annually. The plan is to achieve the remainder of the program's
target through other efficiency-enhancement measures.
When the statutory employer-employee negotiations were launched, Neste Shipping
projected that it would need to reduce personnel numbers by a maximum of 130.
Neste Shipping currently employs around 450 persons.
