Pilot cutter crews at the Port of Mackay are stopping work for 24 hours starting from 0800 today (13 July).
The move by members of the Australian Maritime Officers Union and the Maritime Union of Australia will halt Smit Lamnalco’s pilot cutter operations at the port.
The work stoppage prevents pilot vessel transfers in the Port of Mackay and remove the backup pilot transfer service for the neighbouring port of Hay Point.
