Until 2nd October 2006 the National Union of Marine, Aviation and Shipping Transport Officers (NUMAST) was a British trade union representing shipmasters, officers and cadets serving on merchant ships, as well as other maritime workers such as harbourmasters and marine pilots. The union was formed in 1985 by the merger of the Radio and Electronic Officers Union (REOU) and the Mercantile Marine Services Association (MMSA) with the Merchant Navy and Airline Officers Association (MNAOA). The union formerly included aviation personnel, such as flight navigators and flight engineers, however these members were transferred to BALPA, the airline pilots' union by 1990. In 2006 the Union became a partner with the Dutch Union FWZ (Federatie van Werknemers in de Zeevaart), and on 2nd October 2006 changed its name to Nautilus UK, at the same time FWZ became Nautilus NL. Together these Unions form the Nautilus Federation. When they amalgamate in 2008 the two parts of the federation will merge to become Nautilus. 1985 (MCMLXXXV) was a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
