The Maritime Worker Newsletter of the Wellington Branch of the Maritime Union of New Zealand – Vol. 16 April 2022
New Zealand’s Flag of Convenience ship By Tony Mowbray, Branch President Chatham Island Shipping is a New Zealand shipping company that operates the MV Southern Tiare. This vessel serves the ports of Napier, Timaru, and the Chatham and Pitt Islands, along with a regular service between Napier and Norfolk Island via Auckland. It is not known if any New Zealand crew are engaged on this vessel which is Cook Islands flagged. The Cook Islands flag is an ITF flag of convenience (FOC). If no New Zealanders are employed, it shows how the Maritime Transport Act is easily exploited by a New Zealand owned and based company not employing New Zealand crews. This is done by getting around the 28-day rule in the legislation by having the vessel make the run to Norfolk Island, outside New Zealand waters on a monthly basis. The operation of this company should be showing the Government the importance of investment in similar vessels to service our island nation so New Zealand seafarers can be employed. We need to be training our young people on vessels other than ferries. New Zealand domestic cargo should be moved by New Zealand flagged and crewed ships. The Government needs to take a much stronger stance in supporting our industry. This scenario is similar to what happened when the LPG Tanker Terahiko was withdrawn from service, and our domestic LPG supply carried by foreign flagged and crewed ships to this day.
You could expect this under a right wing National Government who originally sold out New Zealand shipping in 1994 with the Maritime Transport Act. It is disappointing, yet again, to feel let down by a Labour Government that is well aware of the struggles of the maritime industry since the 1990s, and who recently allowed the demise of our two New Zealand flagged coastal tankers, despite a lengthy and high profile campaign to keep them on. One of the main areas we have raised with the Government is the almost total reliance on overseas owned and flagged shipping even for the domestic movement of goods. We are all aware of the current supply chain problems, now including fuel, which if not fixed will only get worse. I noticed that our national media had coverage of the horrendous sacking of 800 British P&O ferry crews on the day that it happened, yet after months of our “Save our Tankers” campaign was struggling to get media attention. Thankfully our National Secretary managed to make Radio New Zealand to get our message out to at least some people. All members should be taking note of the big picture. By allowing shipping companies like Chatham Islands Shipping to operate on our coast without New Zealand crews this is not only at our cost as an industry, but New Zealand as a whole. I continue to encourage all members to become active in whatever way they can to support New Zealand crews and New Zealand shipping.
Branch Secretary Report April 2022 By Jim King, Branch Secretary/Treasurer KiwiRail Kiwirail and other various Shipping companies may make Application to MBIE (Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment ) to source overseas crew to work on New Zealand vessels. A meeting was held with KiwiRail/Interisland Line (KRIIL) management on 25 February, attended by MUNZ, NZMSG, AMEA and RMTU, over concerns the unions have with their recruitment process Chatham Islands Shipping – Background Who is Chatham Island Shipping? Chatham Islands Shipping Limited is a Limited Company registered in New Zealand. It was incorporated on 29 October 2009 and is currently registered. Chatham Islands Shipping Limited is approx. 12 years old. The last Annual Return was filed on 8 October 2021. Full contact address available at https://www. getcompanydetails.com/companies/nz/chathamislands-shipping-limited-9429031820660#contactdetails. Who owns it? The owners of Chatham Island Shipping Limited are Phil Seymour, Dennis John Nisbet, Philip Douglas Seymour, Martin Edward Gregory-Hunt, Donald Stanley Mackay, Brent Mallinson, Ronald Phillip Tuuta, Kazimierz Leon Aremka, Brent Anthony Mallinson, Gregory Francis Horler, Ian Ernest Maxwell, Andrew John Gregory-Hunt, Paul Smith, and Latoya Ellen Hough.
KR-IIL have advised all unions, that the only new employees they are looking for offshore are Able Seamen, for which MUNZ has coverage. I told KR-IIL their intention to apply for an exemption from MBIE to source foreign labour is premature. They should wait until such time as we get confirmation on the future of the oil tankers and have a better idea of availability of New Zealand AB’s. I said KR-IIL need to give more time for New Zealand seafarers to make themselves available for work, with the possibility of unemployed seafarers being available for employment in approximately 60 to 90 days. KR-IIL need to reintroduce domestic travel to allow seafarers to work on their vessels, and the HR department need a complete shake up in terms of how they communicate with applicants. Additional questions I asked were: If KR-IIL are going to source foreign labour to work on their ferries, what is KR-IIL offering these crew members? Flights to and from New Zealand? KR-IIL reply – yes. Subsidised accommodation? KR-IIL reply – yes. Private medical insurance? KR-IIL reply – yes. What agreement do you intend putting these crew members on? KR-IIL reply – they will be on our Collective Agreement, this is ok, but the reality is KR-IIL are required by law to have them on the MUNZ Collective Agreement for the first 30 days. Who will KR-IIL be using as the International crewing agent? KR-IIL reply – no agent. Who will be familiarising the new crew? KR-IIL reply – current crew will do this (but this has not been negotiated with the current crew.)
Why is KR-IIL refusing to work with unions to source NZ labour as opposed to foreign labour? KR-IIL reply – there is no New Zealand workers available – hence I noted again the probable availability of New Zealand Seafarers coming up. If you appoint foreign crew, are they only to work on the ferries until unemployed New Zealand Seafarers become available for work? KR-IIL reply – new employees will be given permanent contracts. KR-IIL have yet to decide on whether they purchase Valentine or return it. We subsequently held a further follow up meeting on 9 March. MUNZ agreed there needs to be a solution for the overseas recruitment of AB’s to InterIslander. All parties are in agreement we need to be trying to fill these roles from within New Zealand in the first instance. KR-IIL still have ongoing advertising and referrals. Actions from the meeting. Tony Mowbray has provided me a name of a potential AB and KR has made contact with them. KR-IIL will check on the status as to whether they can offer Fixed Term contracts rather than Permanent contracts to overseas crew. We have made our position clear, if overseas labour is to be sourced, we want fixed term only, even this does not make us happy. StraitNZ (Bluebridge, Vessels) Still looking for AB’S. Trainees We are still looking for keen and interested young people who would like to go onto our trainee database. Names are very slow to come in. I have asked many times at our stop work meetings, National Council, and through the branch newsletter, and still not having much success. Therefore, please ask your family and friends if they would like to be considered to ship out as a trainee. If so please have them submit their CV to me so I can put their names into our database.
Offshore COVID Tortuga, Southern Star, and MMA Vision have all had COVID cases, and our members have been required to isolate in various hotels around New Plymouth. I have been advised that our members were ordered off their vessel to isolate in a designated facility, while a chief engineer with COVID was permitted to stay on the vessel whilst the vessel was in port. This was totally unacceptable to MUNZ. A letter was sent to Mikael Aldridge, Principal Advisor, Stakeholder Engagement at Maritime New Zealand. He referred the letter to the Ministry of Health. MOH’s response was the management of cases on ships is done by the respective Public Health Unit (PHU). In this case the crew were managed by Taranaki PHU. The decision of how best to approach isolation and quarantine is also decided by the Medical Officer of Health/Health Protection Officer at the PHU. The Maritime Border Order allows for isolation to occur on a ship in clause 17 (1a). Clause 17 (4) allows for transfer to a MIQF. Clause 18 (1) also allows for transfer to a place of isolation to other accommodations provided the Medical Officer of Health/Health Protection Officer is reasonably satisfied and is done to manage public health risk, for the persons safety and to ensure compliance. To summarise, for the purposes of isolation or quarantine, the Maritime Border Order allows the choices of where to isolate, and this decision is made by the Medical Officer of Health/Health Protection Officer. PHUs look at each case and scenario carefully and their decisions are based on public health risk, safety, and compliance. Therefore, there may be variations to their approach depending on the circumstances and situations. Atlas Southern Star is now working out New Plymouth, this campaign is expected to last around 60–90 days. NIWA Vessels I will put a memo out sometime in April to all MUNZ members on the NIWA vessels, calling for remits for 2022 Wage Negotiations.
Wellington Database Auckland and Wellington have a shortage of seafarers on both the data bases. This may alter due to the coastal tanker layoffs.

After
Letter to Peter Mathews KR-IIL – International AB recruitment campaign
I also stated if KiwiRail wanted to ensure their business operation worked in a resourceful and efficient manner, then they need to be similar to shipping companies that operate around New Zealand and pay for the domestic travel for seafarers.
Thank you for your email, and for meeting with Tony and myself yesterday.
This union is aware Kiwirail has provided this travel option on a few occasions for very senior crew only. I accept this will not be the silver bullet for KR-IIL, but it’s a good start to try and get AB’s or IR’s from right around New Zealand to work onboard your vessels.
The Maritime Union totally understands the predicament KR-IIL find themselves in, in terms of a lack of resources (AB’s) to man up their vessels. Whilst we recognize this, I still find it extremely difficult to accept that KiwiRail InterIslander are going to advertise in the international market offering foreign nationals permanent employment contracts, even if it is initially for around ten seafarers. From our standpoint, we are still of the firm view that the contracts you offer foreign nationals should only be for a fixed term period based on the following grounds, As your aware, there will be unemployed Able Seafarers (AB’s) and Integrated Ratings (IR’S) due to the coastal oil tankers finishing up in New Zealand. The Oil and Gas offshore industry second phase of the Umuroa disconnect will be finished in approximately 60 to 90 days, in addition to this, the Normand Tortuga that was working the Archer rig construction is now complete, once both campaigns are completed, this will also add to the national unemployment levels for AB’S and IR’s. As discussed with you and previous meetings held with KR management over the past months, this union firmly believes bringing in foreign labour from the UK, Pacific Islands and the Philippines quite frankly, has been done in haste, premature and without due consideration to the points raised above. Please advise when KiwiRail InterIslander will be kicking off their international recruitment advertising campaign. One of the points I have raised with KiwiRail on a few occasions is the reintroduction of domestic travel. We have at times had unemployed seafarers who live either far north or in the south, who were available for work but could not afford to travel either by car for a day and a half, or fly, as this came at a major expense to them.
As also discussed with you, we have in place in the MUNZ KR-IIL collective contract, the career pathways for the Deck Watch Rating/Trainee AB, MUNZ are absolutely committed to ensure that once the DWR/ TABs have reached their time and gained all relevant qualifications, then they are promoted to the position of an Able Seafarer. This union is reminding you of your obligations to ensure that nothing shall stand in the way of a DWR/Trainees career pathway. Finally, your comment broken down into two parts – “we believe that to persuade committed, high quality candidates to move out to NZ we will need to offer permanent positions.” MUNZ Response – We assume the crews you have already working on the InterIslander vessels are indeed “high quality”, as your also aware at previous wage round negotiations, this union has been pushing, instead of being the lowest paid shipping company in New Zealand, why not pay the market rates, hence you will attract more New Zealand seafarers. “The Immigration NZ allowance is only for permanent positions.” MUNZ Response - Maritime Union totally rejects this as the only option KiwiRail has. Once again, KR-IIL’s actions are premature.
Port unions take action on Russian flagged ships In a joint statement, the Rail and Maritime Transport Union and the Maritime Union of New Zealand said members would be reluctant to work Russian flagged ships in New Zealand ports and are looking at methods of protest. Rail and Maritime Transport Union General Secretary Wayne Butson said workers may deliver letters of protest to the Captain of any Russian flagged vessels in local ports. He said it is important to note any protest was not antiRussian crews, but against aggression and war decisions at the leadership level. Port workers are planning to deliver letters of protest to the captains of Russian flagged ships over that country’s invasion of Ukraine. The International Transport Federation is calling on all of its members to do what they can to express their concern about the illegal war launched by Russian President Vladimir Putin. MUNZ Wellington Branch Life Member Mick Williams comments: “Pathways to peace require dialogue not war. We urge all leaders to come together and talk about a common security for Europe and the world. For that to happen, troops must be withdrawn from Ukraine immediately. Our solidarity is with the people of Ukraine and everyone fleeing to all countries, including Russia.”
Congestion highlights urgent need for New Zealand coastal shipping The Maritime Union says the developing crisis of congestion and delays is being made worse by a lack of New Zealand based coastal shipping in the freight space. Maritime Union of New Zealand National Secretary Craig Harrison says there are multiple compounding stress points in the system. These are the result of bad policy decisions over a long period which had led to the rundown of New Zealand coastal shipping. He says New Zealand is struggling with unreliable overseas shipping schedules due to the global situation. This had built up a backlog and placed great stress on the system, and delays and shipping congestion charges were becoming a major drag on the economy, he says. The situation had now been compounded by staff shortages. The Government needs to step in, and develop a New Zealand focused shipping line that could use chartered vessels to relieve the pressure on the system and target the needs of New Zealanders. Medium sized importers and exporters were struggling while big operators had the capability to charter their own vessels. New Zealand flagged and crewed ships could provide a regular and reliable service connecting regional ports with major international hub ports, thus relieving congestion. He says having New Zealand flagged and crewed ships provided a level of security and could also be used on regional or international runs in the Asia Pacific region if required. “The demand is obviously there, this is a crisis, and there is every indication that the global situation is going to remain a complex and challenging one.We now need to move away from the ‘just in time’ approach, to the ‘just in case’ approach in supply chains and transport.”
Assistant Branch Secretary’s Report By Fiona Mansell Assistant Branch Secretary Higgins First wage rounds kicked off with Jim, me, Pat and two of our members on Tuesday 1 March.
It was interesting to note that this manager and the company had no real plan moving forward other than NO JAB, NO JOB. There was no discussion until that very day about the impacts this mandate would have on these guys financially. Long story short, we put it to the manager that since the guys still have a month to get double jabbed and they are critical and experienced workers, the company should grant special pay for the month of February, then the guys would be happy to compromise any of their leave or take leave without pay.
It has been an absolute journey this far, from signing these new members, drawing up a greenfield document which has cost this union thousands, pushing to get a Bargaining Process Agreement (BPA) signed, to going down for meetings in Picton, organising remits with the members and negotiating.
The Manager confirmed this and it was signed off by the CEO. To add to this the mandated date for the guys has now been extended until 29 April while they await the Novavax vaccine, which I believe is available.
It is interesting to note that Higgins had no claims apart from what he already has in his IEA’s. Overall, it was a good meeting considering it started off a bit awkward.
Negotiations have now finished, and the Terms of Settlement is now signed off.
We reconvened on Monday 28 March. National Secretary Craig Harrison attended and it was good to have him join in and get his input given how busy he is. This round was a lot more open and less awkward for both parties. We are now waiting for Pat to write up the Terms of Settlement, we will have one more meeting to go over these before Jim, Arvi and myself head to Picton to meet with our members and go through the Terms of Settlement with them.
SGS Nelson
Although the members did not get everything, they wanted they got a pretty good increase on payrate and allowances. Big thanks to John Whiting for assisting me through their negotiations. Moving forward I believe this will now go to the Nelson Branch.
CPL In mid-January CPL rolled out a COVID 19 Resilience Policy that required all employees to be fully vaccinated by 28 February. It also stated in their Policy that the employees needed to produce their vaccine passport by the 31 January or produce a vaccine plan. The problem with this policy is that there was no mention what the consequences are to employees if they were unable to produce their passports by the due date. MUNZ had three members affected negatively by this policy. All three members received a phone call on 31 January, followed by a text that they were NOT to come to work the next day. In other words the guys were stood down effective immediately. An urgent meeting was called for the very next day with me, our members, and one of the managers from CPL.

Tanker update
The campaign met several times with Government Ministers to discuss options to preserve the tankers.
Despite widespread concerns, New Zealand’s two coastal fuel tankers MT Kokako and MT Matuku have been taken out of service.
The tankers were a major source of employment for New Zealand seafarers and provided training opportunities for young seafarers.
The removal of the two tankers was driven by the closure of Marsden Point refinery. The big three petrol companies intend to now import refined fuel directly to New Zealand ports using overseas tankers.
MUNZ is now awaiting any further outcomes around coastal shipping, after registering our strong views with the Government.
Despite several months of intensive campaigning, the Government did not act on requests to keep on the two tankers as mobile storage during a volatile time in global energy markets. For many decades, bulk refined fuel has been distributed throughout New Zealand from Marsden Point through two main methods – a pipeline to Auckland, and by New Zealand coastal tankers to regional ports. Silver Fern Shipping advised crew in late 2021 it would take the vessels out of service by April 2022. The two vessels were contracted solely to Coastal Oil Logistics Limited (COLL) to deliver fuel from Marsden Point refinery to New Zealand ports. COLL is a joint venture between the major petrol companies who are responsible for the decision. Three unions representing New Zealand shipping crews mounted a united campaign: the Maritime Union of New Zealand, the New Zealand Merchant Service Guild, and the Aviation and Marine Engineers Association.
The campaign for fuel security identified multiple risks in removing New Zealand tankers. New Zealand holds fuel reserves in the form of “tickets” that in theory guarantee access to overseas fuel stocks. If the disruption of the global tanker market continues, these reserves might not be easily accessible. Oil tanker futures prices in the April-June period rose by around 20 per cent on major global routes as the invasion of Ukraine increased the likelihood of sanctions limiting available tonnage supply and altering oil trade flows, according to maritime media reports. There is further insecurity in the Asia–Pacific region, with tensions around China and North Korea. Other concerns have been detailed about the volatile nature of refined fuel which means deliveries can be “off spec” and do not meet local standards for use.
Transport workers back P&O ferry workers after shock mass sacking
Crew on the Valentine showing support to P & O Ferry Workers
UK ferry operator P&O Ferries has moved to sack 800 UK-based seafarers and outsource their jobs to non-union, agency workers. New Zealand unions have offered their full support to the affected crew members, who are members of the UK’s RMT (Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers’ Union) and ship officers’ union Nautilus International. ITF affiliates in New Zealand are the Rail and Maritime Transport Union, the Maritime Union of New Zealand, E tū, FIRST Union, the Merchant Service Guild, and the Aviation and Marine Engineers’ Association, who together represent tens of thousands of New Zealand transport workers. Letter of support from Mick Williams, on behalf the Wellington Branch The Wellington branch of MUNZ who represent crews on six freight and passenger ferries on New Zealand’s Cook Strait today join in with ITF and Maritime unions around the world.
Crew on the Kaitaki showing support to P & O Ferry Workers
We are condemning the UK ferry company P&O for the sacking of 800 seafarers. We express anger and condemnation at the P&O ferries who moved to sack its UK based seafaring workforce and outsource the jobs to non-union, agency workers. RMT and seafarers slammed the ferry P&O for ‘scheming behind closed doors before stabbing them all in the back’. Our union branch will join the fight globally and do everything we can to support the sacked workers. Seafarers’ rights have clearly been violated – and it is astonishing that this can happen in major developed seafaring country like the UK. Further we strongly call on P&O Ferries to urgently meet with the UK seafaring unions.

National Secretary’s Report By Craig Harrison National Secretary Tankers The last couple of months have flown by as our Union campaigns hard to keep both New Zealand tankers on the New Zealand coast. As I write this, they are about reflag the MT Matuku and have a new crew take the vessel offshore. We campaigned hard to keep the tankers and lobbied the Government as hard as we could to get them to take control of the tankers and if possible, have Silver Fern Shipping contract to the Government. In this case Silver Fern Shipping is not the enemy as they had all the work pulled off them by Coastal Oil Logistics (COLL), so in effect they had no product to move by the end of March. I would like to acknowledge the work the delegates have done on the Tankers through this trying time and thank the members and the workers on the vessels who are contributing and were active in the battle to keep the Tankers. We will soon have a clearer picture on the outcome. Regardless of the outcome we will continue to try and build opportunities for work and training in the industry. Shipping industry At the moment we are seeing companies like KiwiRail and Strait Shipping experiencing a shortage of skilled labour on their ships. They are looking to go to the market and try and recruit crew and if they cannot find people in New Zealand they will look to recruit overseas.
The dilemma for our Union is if our members in New Zealand don’t want to take the jobs the company will look overseas. We will of course be looking to help any members displaced of the tankers into jobs on the New Zealand coast. Our Union has been talking with the Maritime School over the possibility of working with the school and the industry to bring in young New Zealanders to the industry. There is now a realisation in the shipping industry that they cannot rely on bringing in foreign workers all the time given the nature of the world under the impact of a COVID pandemic and an uncertain future. Ports Our Union is in the process of signing the Port of Auckland Collective Agreement which marks the tenth anniversary of the Ports of Auckland strike and lock out. I am pleased to say that after 10 years of work the membership density for the Stevedores is 246 MUNZ members, with 25 Port Pro and 21 IEA’s. This is a significant win for our Union and highlights the importance of a good delegate system and members in the workplace who never stopped organising workers. I would like to thank the Auckland Officials and the Executive team and the all the delegates whose hard and never-ending work has seen our Union win one of the most significant fights in our recent history. Our Union is also in the process of trying to bargain a Collective Employment Agreement with both ISO and ISL which operate significant operations in the Stevedoring industry. These two companies have a significant presence in the waterfront and have their own in-house Unions (associations) that over the years have given these companies the competitive advantage that has seen good Unionised company’s lose contracts and the resultant loss of employment for our members. Our Union is now involved with Maritime New Zealand and WorkSafe and industry players with two projects focussed on Health and Safety on the waterfront.
One of the projects is around fatigue in the industry, and developing guidance around hours of work and how rostering should be managed to ensure that the work scheduling is as safe as possible. Our Union has done a significant amount of work in this area at the Ports of Auckland and will look to see that any regulations or guidance is at the very least equal to the best currently in the industry. The second project our Union is involved in is around “People and Plant.” This project is focussed on machines verse people in the industry. Under the guidance of Health and Safety much of what we want can be achieved in the industry by promoting national standards and best practice. In our industry the workers involvement in Health and Safety has been good in some of the Unionised workplaces, but unfortunately some of the major players with non-union workers or in house unions have health and safety conditions in place that undermine good conditions in our industry.
Crew on the Kaitaki flies the flag at half-mast for Kevin Tobin (Crash) who sadly passed away in March.
Union growth Around the country our Union needs to think of ways of growing our Union and increasing our density in our industry. For our Union to continue to try and influence policy and the companies that we deal with we need to have a high level of density in the respective industries to have real influence. Nothing has changed over years of industrial struggle, it is density and organised workplaces that deliver results for workers.
