Dear colleagues,
I write to ask if any of you have been recently employed by Noordhoek and have not been paid. If this is the case, please can you get in touch with me with copies of your invoices and your membership numbers as we have contacted our solicitors over this issue.
However, I must make it clear that this is for paid-up RMT members only.
Kind regards
Pauline Akrill

Marcon International of Coupeville, Washington has reported the sale of Noordhoek Singapore.
The 65.65m x 14.05m, Dutch flagged, multi-purpose construction, dive and ROV support vessel (ex-Serviceman, ex-Smit Marlin, ex-Smit-Lloyd 61) was sold by Noordhoek Offshore BV of Zierikzee, The Netherlands to Nigerian buyers.
Well one more company hits the dust .

If I remember correctly that was an old tub of a converted supply boat anyway, I doubt if it'll be missed.

The delayed sale of the Noordhoek Singapore to a Nigerian company brought some financial problems to Noordhoek.
Guess everything should be sorted around this time.

Sounds like a cat with nine lives and so it goes on , The main thing is if you work for them would you get paid ?
Sounds more like Mr Noordhoek is not dead yet .
