Contractor in hot water for ‘mistakenly’ underpaying workers at giant Scottish wind project – Evening Express

An asset integrity firm with bases in Aberdeen has come under fire for claiming it “unintentionally” underpaid workers at a giant Scottish wind farm project.

Dutch firm Fugro Marine was contracted for survey work by SSE Renewables at the site of its 114-turbine Seagreen wind project planned off the coast of Montrose.

Contracts seen by Energy Voice show a number of non-EU workers hired on Fugro vessels were paid less than the National Minimum Wage while working in UK waters.

It is understood some are on a basic salary of only £3.40 an hour.
