Norway's Havyard Group is preparing for lay-offs at its shipyard as the company finishes its last new vessels and focuses on repair.

The Havyard Leirvik plant will deliver its final ships by the end of this year as it exits shipbuilding as part of a restructuring.

A wind turbine support vessel is being completed for Danish shipowner Esvagt, and the yard is also building a live fish carrier for Froy, following the handover of two ships in the second quarter.
