British engine maker Rolls-Royce said Thursday it was slashing 800 jobs worldwide in its marine business, where its order book is "very weak".
The marine sector employs 4,800 people in 34 countries, with Norway the most significant with 1,900 workers. The division designs ships and systems, largely for the oil and gas market. Rolls said the job cuts would be made in 2017 in a bid to make savings of around £45 million to £50 million ($57 million to $63 million; 53 to 59 million euros).
