Romania's Vard Braila shipyard is bringing in 130 workers from Vietnam to fill vacancies.

A total of 70 have already arrived, with the rest coming later.

The company has not been able to find enough Romanian workers to cover its needs, manager Alina Puia told Hotnews.

The Vard unit shifted the staff from a group yard in Vietnam.

Another Vard yard in Romania, Tulcea, brought about 300 workers from Vietnam last year.

“It’s very difficult to find workforce, although we have been trying for over a year and we have ads everywhere,” said Puia.

“Work is hard here and now people are looking for better paid and easier jobs,” she added.
