[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Teekay Shipping Australia Pty Ltd MUA (Shell Tankers) Enterprise Agreement 2011 (the Agreement).

[2] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187 and 188 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.
