HUNDREDS of workers at the Cammell Laird shipyards on the Tyne and the Tees are still facing weeks of uncertainty.
Receivers PricewaterhouseCoopers, brought in to run the yard last month, said a decision on a takeover of the troubled company had been delayed by at least another month, despite a number of bids being on the table.
The future of Cammel Laird was plunged into doubt when Costa Crociere cancelled a £50m upgrade on one of its liners at the firm's Merseyside yard, despite the company having already carried out £40m of work on a new middle section for the liner.
