RECEIVERS at troubled shipbuilders Cammell Laird have announced a further 93 redundancies as efforts continued to find a buyer for the firm's three yards.
PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), called in to rescue Cammell Laird at the beginning of April, said 82 jobs will be cut from Tyneside, six from Birkenhead and five from Teesside.
The cuts leave just over 1,000 employees at the yards, which are rapidly running out of work.
Work on a ferry and an offshore vessel at Tyneside is due to be completed today, while the Birkenhead yard will finish its contracts by the end of June.
Hundreds of jobs have been axed since PwC was called in earlier this year in the hope of winning new work and saving the yards from closure.
Despite an initial flood of interest from more than 40 parties, there have been no firm offers for the operations.
The cuts came as unions were meeting with PwC officials at the Merseyside headquarters.
