Terminal Notices - Disruption to Services

Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) and the Australian Peak Shippers Association (APSA) have received a number of member enquiries expressing concern at Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) stop-work notices announced at terminals other than DP World.  The announcements have no direct link to the protected industrial action between the MUA and DP World, but instead members of the MUA have authorised stop-work to allow attendance of it's members to their Annual General Meeting (AGM) being held on Tuesday 28 November. Most major terminals around the country will be impacted as a result. Following are announcements to date :  DP World  Melbourne    - TBC Brisbane       - Terminal will be closed Tuesday 28 November between 0700-1100hrs Sydney         - Terminal will be closed Tuesday 28 November between 1000-1400hrs Fremantle     - TBC Patrick  Melbourne   - Terminal will be closed Tuesday 28 November between 1000-1400hrs Brisbane      - TBC Sydney        - TBC Fremantle    - TBC Hutchison Ports Sydney        - Terminal will be closed Tuesday 28 November between 1000-1400hrs Brisbane      - TBC Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT) Melbourne    - VICT will cease road operations during 1000 to 1400 Tuesday 28 November 2023. * Nb.
