But its chief executive insists that the 'gravy train' at the troubled Ferguson yard has come to an end.
Mr Miller added: "It is very important we find the talent for the senior management. It is also very important we retain the talent for the senior management, in terms of completing our journey towards eventual profitability in our five-year plan.
Mr Yousaf said in April that he "shared the anger" at the payments being made and that "for any future discussion or consideration of bonuses, I have made it clear there should not be bonuses paid" in relation to the two ferries. The project soon ran into trouble, with the yard being taken over by the Scottish government in 2019, and the ships are now more than £200m overbudget and due to be delivered six years later than originally planned.
Mr Tydeman was told by Scottish Conservative MSP Craig Hoy that workers believed people had been taking big salaries and big bonuses while "not necessarily contributing to the health and wellbeing of the yard".The chief executive replied: "Yes. I am very determined that it does come to an end and I have reduced the payroll costs by about £3m in the last 12 months."
He said he believed this was the result of management mistakes by FMEL before it went into administration - but equally because of mistakes by Scottish government-owned company FMPG after the yard was nationalised in 2019.
