Unions halt work at AET: 'Crew secured cars themselves'

“Port workers working at AET reported to us around noon on Tuesday that the crew of Grimaldi’s ro-ro ship Grande Luanda were securing the cargo themselves,” said Bart Pierré of transport union BTB. “This is a flagrant violation of the Major Law: seaworthiness of cargo is supposed to be done by licensed port workers. Between 1.20pm and 2.45pm, we had the work stopped until dock workers could take over.”
