13.2 The parties agree that the rosters of work are subject to change because of changes to service, operational and port requirements. Changes to the rosters of work (and operating practices) will not constitute a variation to this agreement.
13.3 The normal working day to meet the operational needs of the harbour tug operations shall be up to 12 hour shifts or any other shift arrangement by agreement. Scheduled hours of work should not exceed 12 hours.
13.4 As a general guide, Employees will be provided at least 10 hours rest per day of work. This can be split into several periods providing that one period is a minimum of 6 hours. Appropriate rest periods while performing voyages will be taken based on meeting operational requirements and practical considerations. No Employee shall be required to work if he or she is fatigued or has not had sufficient rest to perform the work in a safe manner.
13.5 As towage operations in regional ports are generally sparse and non-continuous, crews will be engaged for a towage operation or a number of towage operations consistent with clause 13.4. Where facilities are available, crews may be accommodated on board between successive towage operations and will be provided suitable rest periods.
13.6 Other than in exceptional circumstances, an Employee shall not work for more than 14 hours continuously. After such a 14-hour continuous work period the Employee shall have 10 hours off.

13.8 An Employee must be provided with minimum aggregate rest of 77 hours in every 7-day period.
13.9 Employees will be entitled to a meal break on completion of 5 hours of duty. The meal break will not constitute a break when assessing unbroken duty. Meal breaks must be taken flexibly. For the avoidance of doubt meal breaks must not be taken in a manner or at a time that would interrupt port operations or towage requirements.
13.10 Employees have a right to disconnect under the terms and conditions as set out section 333M of the Act.
