Maritime Employers Association 2 The Board of Directors devoted a great deal of energy and resources defining its future role based on the needs and requirements of tomorrow. Where is the industry headed? What emerging needs will the M.E.A. have to meet? How can the Association be part of the solution? How can we contribute to the industry? What will we need to fulfill our role with the various stake- holders in our industry? We asked ourselves all these questions in 2011 and the answers were drawn from our solid experience as an association as well as the rationality of our members.
What does 2012 hold in store for us? Stimulating chal- lenges we are well-prepared and well-equipped to face. Our teams are ready to set to work, our partners are drawing the same conclusions as we are, and the Association is counting on a culture of preparedness to rise to the task.
I would like to conclude by taking a moment to ack- nowledge how far the M.E.A. has come, along a path marked by cautious headway and calculated risk. I want to commend the diligence, conscientiousness, auda- city and commitment of all the members of the Board. The performance posted in 2011, in difficult and unpre- dictable economic times, allows us to face the future together with an optimistic outlook.
As the year draws to a close, the members of the Board join me in acknowledging the work of all the M.E.A. employees who shared our concerns, promptly answered our questions and found innovative solutions to problems that arose.
It is with pride and humility that I submit this Annual Report to you today.
Thank you,
Kevin M. Doherty Chairman of the Board
Maritime Employers Association 3 A word from the President and Chief Executive Officer
On the operational front, market conditions are reducing Dear Members, our capacity to predict the future, which makes it harder to plan our activities. However, these new operating It is with no small pride that we are closing the conditions have forced us to review our processes year 2011 with this message: mission accom- in order to adapt to emerging realities.

We have achieved our objectives to maintain the speed dictated by our industry. in terms of both labour relations and managing the Association. The unions are also more aware of the transformation the industry is undergoing today. We believe it is up to us to share with them the challenges of tomorrow, to create the conditions for a mutual understanding This year, the M.E.A. signed four collective agree- of our issues and concerns in order to work together ments: two in Hamilton, one in Montreal and another and find solutions to face our changing situation.

Maritime Employers Association 4 For example, the collective agreement in effect at the Port of Montreal between the M.E.A. and the Longshoremen’s Union was modified several times this year to take into account short-term agreements and new market opportunities or to resolve potentially conflicting issues.
On the employees’ side, we have put a lot of emphasis on health and safety by means of increased prevention and training; workplace health and safety is gaining importance, as the clear decrease in the number and severity of accidents attests.
We have been working relentlessly to establish a solid basis that will allow us to confront market variations, and we can now say that our efforts have paid off. Thanks to recent investments in technology, carefully planning the next generation and a more personalized service offer, the M.E.A. has managed to maintain its competitiveness, thanks to best practices which are the envy of our industry.
The last few decades have rarely produced a period with so many challenges on so many different fronts. We are living in exciting times laced with constant changes. The future promises more of the same, therefore we will have to continue to be creative and innovative in everything we do.
In closing, I wish to thank the members of the Board of Directors again this year for listening and for their constant support and availability. And of course my deepest gratitude goes to the extraordinary team which surrounds me and makes it possible for the M.E.A. to meet its objectives year after year.
Thank you,
Jean Bédard President and Chief Executive Officer

The Maritime Employers Association is a non-profit organization representing member companies involved in shipping. Members of the Association include ship owners, operators and agents of vessels, stevedoring contractors and terminal operators.
OUR MISSION OUR VALUES
In accordance with Article 34 of the Canada Labour The Association’s activities are based on fundamental Code, the M.E.A. acts on behalf of its Members in the values: respect for individuals, appreciation of creativity, negotiation and management of the collective agree- employee leadership, integrity and trust. ments for more than 1,200 employees working in the Ports of Montreal, Trois-Rivières/Bécancour, Hamilton and Toronto. It has the mandate to dispatch and to provide training to a skilled workforce. In addition, it plays an advisory role regarding occupational health and safety issues with terminal operators.

Collective Agreements
The year 2011 was very active in terms of labour rela- tions. Four collective agreements were signed with various unions. A five-year agreement was reached at the Port of Trois-Rivières/Bécancour with the CUPE Union Local 1375, Longshoremen, on April 15, 2011. At the Port of Hamilton, two eight-year agreements were concluded: one for the longshoremen (I.L.A. Local 1654) and one for the checkers (I.L.A. Local 1879). Finally, an agreement was signed with the Port of Mon- treal Checkers (I.L.A. Local 1657) in September 2011. At this time of writing, negotiations are underway to renew the collective agreement for the Port of Toronto, which expired on December 31, 2011.

Maritime Employers Association 9 The results helped us evaluate the scope of changes required so this position may be used in the workplace rehabilitation program for employees suffering minor work-related back injuries. In addition to reducing the frequency of impact-related injuries, ongoing improve- ments on container terminals will allow these workers to get back to the job in a timely manner.
In 2011, the container pile wind resistance study was completed. The results were presented to various stakeholders who will develop intervention procedures in the event of high winds which could present a real risk of toppling containers. This large-scale project was used to modify safety procedures at various ter- minals to reflect new environmental realities caused by climate change.
This year also saw the workplace’s Health and Safety department handle the first complaints under the Workplace Harassment and Violence Prevention Policy. The proactive management of these cases will instil a healthier, safer work environment and allow the M.E.A. to take the required steps to manage psychological health in the workplace.
The M.E.A. continues to contribute to the work of the National Maritime Safety Association (NMSA), a health and safety committee composed by American and Canadian maritime transport employers. By serving on its Board of Directors and participating in various NMSA technical committees, the M.E.A. has increased its visibility to the entire North American maritime com- munity and has gained access to important information to help fulfill its objectives and those of terminal operators. The NMSA’s work ensures that the maritime cargo industry is fairly represented next to the American and Canadian governments.
