The Australian Maritime Officers Union expresses its deepest
condolences to the family and friends of John Gordon, former
President and Secretary of the Victorian Tasmanian Branch of the
AIMPE, who sadly passed away on 6 January. John was committed to
not only improving the working conditions of marine engineers, but
all seafarers, especially seafarers engaged in the tug industry.
John was notorious for vessel inspections, always armed with
his sound metre, ensuring seafarers were not exposed to more than
80dB. For many years, he worked with the officials of the AMOU and
the SUA on the Victorian Marine Board; safe guarding the welfare of
seafarers, encouraging career / training opportunities and
promoting the Port of Melbourne.
