The Tugboat Captains are refusing to perform operations in the Canal because they have serious concerns regarding health and safety after the ACP’s unilateral decision to reduce the number of crew on the tugboats. This is compounded by concerns they have previously raised regarding the excessive overtime being required of Tugboat Captains, which has led to fatigue and is having a grave impact on their health and wellbeing. The same concerns were also raised by the independent National Transport Safety Board (NTSB) in their findings https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/AccidentReports/Reports/MAB1737.pdf which uncovered that the cause of the collision was due to fatigue because of excessive working hours.
