DP World Industrial Action – Update

Dear Valued Clients,

Please note below the latest update from DP World in relation to the industrial action at their sites.

The Protected Industrial Action (PIA) which commenced at DP World Australia (DPWA) terminals this week has been mitigated to the best extent possible, with all vessel and roadside operations continuing.

We will continue to explore every opportunity possible to minimise the disruption to our customers resulting from the irresponsible actions of the CFMMEU. These actions are deliberately causing harm to shipping lines, transport and rail operators, and employees who continue to lose wages.

The CFMMEU’s actions continue to be completely out of touch with the financial outlook of the Company and unsustainable in our competitive industry.

The Customer Centre with our terminals will continue to explore options to minimise disruption to our customers vessels.

We appreciate everyone’s support and patience as we work through these challenges.
