Please be advised of the following update from the Port of Fremantle regarding upcoming industrial action.
The Port has received notification that Vessel Traffic Service Officers and Small Craft Personnel, covered under the Marine Services Enterprise Agreement, plan to undertake a 48-hour protected industrial action starting at 5:30 AM on Sunday, August 18.
Fremantle Ports is dedicated to collaborating with all stakeholders and port partners to minimize any potential impact on operations and the community during this period.
Please note that vessel cargo and port logistics operations will proceed as scheduled, with no anticipated disruption due to the industrial action. However, there may be some impact on ship movements to and from berths.
Fremantle Ports is aware of the importance of minimizing disruptions to trade and remains committed to resolving this matter amicably through respectful and collaborative discussions. The industrial action was approved following a Protected Action Ballot Order (PABO) in late June, with notice given three days in advance, as required.
