4 yearly review of modern awards – Seagoing Industry Award 2010 – changes to classifications.

[1] In our decision issued on 24 March 2020 1, we finalised a long-running issue concerning the interaction of the coverage provisions of the Seagoing Industry Award 2010 (Seagoing Award), the Ports, Harbours and Enclosed Water Vessels Award 2010 and the Marine Towage Award 2010

[2] We have received correspondence from the Australian Institute of Marine & Power Engineers (AIMPE) in respect of the issue of the Electro Technical Officers and Electricians classifications for every vessel category in the Seagoing Award. The AIMPE notes that these matters were resolved by the parties at a conference before the Commissioner on 29 November 2016 and seeks that the consensus position be incorporated into the Seagoing Award.

Attached to this decision is a draft determination for the variation of the 2020 Award reflecting the consensus position of the parties.
