DP World have outlined advice received from the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) division of the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union (CFMMEU) in terms of withdrawing some partial work bans and stoppages and the continuation of other listed PIA.
Despite the withdrawal of some bans, there are still multiple protected industrial actions that remain ongoing, including partial work bans, associated with the PIA ,for the period Monday 15 January to Tuesday 23 January 2024.
The position of DP World regarding partial work bans remains unchanged.
As long as delays and disruptions in schedules continue, cargo arrivals and departures will be delayed. As a result of delays in vessels returning to origin, vessel schedules continue to change, and backlogs continue to build.
The information we provide will be updated as soon as possible in this ever-changing environment.
