Up to 150 jobs are to be axed at Babcock Rosyth's dockyard in Fife.

A spokesperson for the company said following a review of its business structure, Babcock has decided to combine its energy and marine operations on the site into one team.

"Regrettably in doing this we will reduce our management and support functions by around 150 positions," the spokesman said.

"The prospects for Babcock's operations at Rosyth continue to be good and we remain totally committed to providing a safe and secure environment for our workforce that supports both our current and future operational needs."

In November, the company announced that around 250 jobs would go at the site as the contract to build two Royal Navy aircraft carriers neared completion.
