The Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) is calling for a comprehensive clean-up of disused offshore infrastructure on the Australian coast to be funded by multinational oil and gas companies that put these installations in the country’s waters.
The Union’s Assistant National Secretary Mich-Elle Myers is advocating for the removal of disused equipment from the seafloor and restoration of the marine landscape to its original state. In her statement, Myers points out that oil and gas companies need to comply with their decommissioning commitments for the sake of the environment and future generations.
