Maritime trade union Nautilus International is organising a protest in the Dutch port of IJmuiden with Paragon Offshore staff this coming Monday.

Borr Drilling Limited, Paragon's new owner, wants to close the former Paragon Offshore office in Beverwijk, posing a threat to more than 70 office or offshore platform jobs.

Nautilus said Paragon workers are demanding a "good social plan" after rejecting Borr’s offer for a legally-regulated transition payment.
