JNG and ITF successfully conclude negotiations
(Oct  8  2010)

Representatives of the Joint Negotiating Group of the International Bargaining 
Forum (IBF) and the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) have 
agreed on set of recommendations aimed to assist seafarers and 
shipowners/managers in the event of piracy.

In particular, these included recommendations for seafarers' protection and 
welfare if captured and also that of their families until, and if necessary, 
after their release.

With regards to the ongoing pay negotiations, following intense discussions and 
consultations between the respective IBF parties, an agreement was reached this 
week enhancing the previous methodology used in negotiating and implementing 
IBF pay settlements.

It is believed that this should facilitate the pay negotiations, which are 
scheduled to continue early next year with completion expected in March 2011.

In line with the above, all existing IBF agreements will be extended to 
continue until the end of March 2011, the JNG said.
