The rigs at the Palumbo Shipyards will be removed at the end of April, in an operation that will take several months, Infrastructure Minister Ian Borg said on Wednesday.
The rigs have been subject to controversy because they have been laid up and static for a number of years. This was due to the global crisis in the oil and gas industry, combined with the COVID-19 pandemic.
