February 28, 2017
Agreed
the Harbour Authority of Portland and terminalista society ICTSI Oregon has agreed the revocation of the contract of concession of the duration 25-year-old with which the branch of the terminalista group Philippine International Container Services Terminal, Inc. (ICTSI) managed from the beginning of the 2011 container terminal to Terminal 6 of the American port(of 1316May 2010 and February 2011).
the parts have established that, after the green light of the commission that administers the port of call American, the contractual agreement will have term next 31 March. Moreover the Port of Portland will receive an indemnification of 11,45 million dollars and will acquire the property the means of handling that ICTSI Oregon had installed in the terminal.
the Philippine group has complained that the decision to abandon the terminal is caused by continuous strikes promoted from the union International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) that they have had beginning in june 2012. ICTSI has remembered to have deposited to the federal Court two requests in confronts of the labor organization (the second one also regarding the Pacific Maritime Association - PMA) asking compensations in order to have provoked to the interruption of the activity of the container terminal. The first request is still hanging, while the second one is rejected by the Court and ICTSI Oregon has introduced appeal.
"We wish - the managing director of ICTSI Oregon has declared, Elvis Ganda - than this agreement we will allow with the terminal to return in activity in the short possible time. However - it has specified Ganda - ICTSI Oregon will continue to take care of the issues of the job that have given origin to its decision to tighten this agreement and - it has specified - it will continue the actions lawyers regarding the ILWU".
