Meyer Turku, the Finnish cruise ship builder, has confirmed 166 job losses following talks with representatives of the staff, the company said in a statement.
A second round will follow later and cover possible redundancies at the fitting out, human resources and design departments of the company.
Talks with representatives of the staff in case of e.g. job losses are a requirement of the Finnish law.
In April, the company said it aims to reduce its personnel by 450 people as the Covid-19 pandemic had dramatically changed the cruise market and cruise ship building, it said.
