The cuts total about 100 of BPTT’s staff of around 1000 and are primarily centered in “support/office-based staff,” the company said when announcing the move.
“Safety remains our number one priority. All these organisational changes were carefully considered to ensure the safety of our personnel and operations will not be compromised,” BPTT president Norman Christie said. “We remain strongly committed to running safe and reliable operations in Trinidad and Tobago and will continue to invest in our people and our operations.”
