Malta Shipyards secure Lm5m conversion job

Malta Shipyards Ltd yesterday announced it had secured a contract valued in excess of Lm5 million for the conversion of a second heavy lift barge for a repeat client, Fairmount Heavy Transport.
This contract will include fitting of propulsion equipment and on-deck accommodation facilities.
Also yesterday, the government reacted strongly to a letter sent by the General Workers’ Union’s metalworkers’ section to the Malta Shipyard management, accusing it of putting spanners in the works and jeopardising workers’ jobs.
