While the COVID-19 pandemic has affected their operations, local oil and gas support companies Ramps Logistics and TOTALTEC Oilfield Services have so far committed to retaining staff and have implemented measures to ensure everyone is paid as they abide by public health measures instituted to prevent the spread of the virus.
“At Ramps, we haven’t laid off anybody. That is not even something we are looking at because we are trying to find ways to accommodate them as they work from home,” Business Development Director Mariska Jordan told Stabroek News.
“We have the majority of the staff working from home. We have given them laptops, given them internet, because some people they didn’t have, and we had to make sure they did, equipped them with safety stuff, such as sanitizers and PPE, but we are not looking at lay-offs,” Jordan added.
