MALAYSIA's Port Klang Authority (PKA) chairman Teh Kim Poo has resolved problems involving truckers and off-dock container depot operators after a three-day strike, reports the New Straits Times.
Truckers were protesting delays and the doubling of gate charges. Drivers claim earnings are being reduced because three and four hour waits limit them to one or two depot trips a day.
Said the PKA's Mr Teh Kim Poo: "After two days of negotiations, we are pleased to announce that a memorandum of understanding has been reached between the Association of Malaysian Hauliers (AMH) and the Container Depot Operators, which will resolve the grouses faced by the drivers.
"The terms and conditions of the MoU include the depot operators agree to give credit terms to hauliers and the details of the agreement will be dealt with individual hauliers and that they shall take all steps with AMH to achieve the target of maximum one hour to service each driver," he said.
