Royal Boskalis Westminster has maintained its outlook for 2016 after completing a third of its planned redundancies.

In a trading update the dredging giant said it has obtained a positive opinion from the Dutch Works Council and trade union CNV Waterbouw and has already axed 200 out of 650 jobs.

Its job reduction plans have been met with anger from the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) and Nautilus International.
