In-principle agreement reached on marine pilot Enterprise Agreement

TasPorts is pleased to have reached an in-prinicple agreement with the Australian Maritime Officers Union (AMOU) on the marine pilot Enterprise Agreement.

TasPorts' Chief Executive Officer, Anthony Donald, said this was welcome news for customers, communities and visitors.

"The agreement sees our marine pilots rewarded fairly for their valuable skills and expertise," he said.

"It will also see the resumption of full marine pilotage services across our ports, following the lifting of all protected industrial action as confirmed earlier today, which provides confidence to customers and communities."

"This is being communicated to all customers as a matter of priority."

The Agreement provides marine pilots a 12 per cent increase over three years and provides productivity improvements and associated payments, as well as retaining the current vehicle allowance for the life of the agreement.
