More than 300 offshore drilling and contract maintenance workers have backed strike action after rejecting a pay offer, a union has announced.


Unite said the workers are employed by Archer, Maersk, Transocean and Odfjell.


Members rejected a 5% pay offer, with 95% supporting strike action in a ballot turnout of 86%.


The action, which covers several North Sea installations, is due to start later this month, with more strikes planned in November and December.


The pay dispute involves workers covered by the United Kingdom Drilling Contractors Association (UKDCA).
