Sydney ferry

A private operator took control of the Sydney’s ferry fleet in August of last year.

Sydney’s ferries are set to grind to a halt this morning as workers walk off the job.

All services apart from those on the Taronga Zoo route will stop at 10am after Maritime Union of Australia called a stop work meeting.

A spokeswoman for Harbour City Ferries, the private operator who took control of the fleet in August last year, said management had not been informed of the reason for the stop work.

The Maritime Union of Australia has called the unsanctioned industrial action but has failed to notify Harbour City Ferries Management of the reason for the stop work.
