4 yearly review of modern awards - Ports, Harbours and Enclosed Water Vessels Award 2010, Seagoing Industry Award 2010, Marine Towage Award 2010
(AM2016/5)

4 yearly review of modern awards – substantive matters – coverage of award – changes to classifications – Ports, Harbours and Enclosed Water Vessels Award 2010, Seagoing Industry Award 2010, Marine Towage Award 2010.

[1] On 8 November 2017 the Full Bench issued a statement advising of its preliminary view that given the potential for the coverage of the industries to which the Seagoing Industry Award 2010 and the Ports, Harbours and Enclosed Water Vessels Award 2010 apply to overlap that it may be appropriate as part of the 4 yearly review to amalgamate the two awards. It also advised that it had formed the preliminary view that further amalgamation with the third award, the Marine Towage Award 2010, is also worthy of consideration.

[2] The parties made submissions in response to the preliminary view both in writing and orally at a hearing held on 7 December 2017. The Full Bench has reserved its decision in relation to this issue. If the Full Bench determines to pursue this course then the Full Bench will publish an exposure draft award for the parties’ further consideration.

[3] To enable the decision of the Full Bench 1 in AM2016/5 to be given effect in the interim, draft determinations have been published with this statement.

[4] We note that the revised draft determination for the Ports, Harbour and Enclosed Water Vessels Award 2010 has removed the reference to the Marine Towage Award 2010 in the coverage clause 4.1. Additionally, it expands the new clause 4.2(a) regarding excluded vessels covered by the Seagoing Industry Award 2010.

[5] Interested parties are directed to provide any submissions in response to the revised draft determinations to [email protected] by 12.00 pm on Thursday, 15 February 2018.
