Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT), a fully automated facility operated by International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) at the Port of Melbourne, Australia, reported handling the five millionth TEU (twenty-foot equivalent unit) mark since commencing operations.
The milestone solidifies the VICT’s position as a key player in Australia’s ever-evolving logistics landscape.
“Since opening our doors at Webb Dock in 2017, VICT has been dedicated to continuous improvement, investing heavily in innovative technology, the highest safety and sustainability standards, and the well-being of our valued staff,” Bruno Porchietto, VICT chief executive, said.
“Reaching five million TEUs is a testament to this unwavering commitment and a significant accomplishment for the entire VICT team. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the staff for their dedication and hard work,” he added.
The company’s recent completion of its terminal expansion program increased VICT’s capacity by 30 percent to 1.25 million TEUs, enabling the seamless handling of larger vessels and catering to the growing demand.
Furthermore, VICT prioritizes operational efficiency by continuously investing in next-generation technology. This includes the acquisition of new automated stacking cranes and super post-Panamax ship-to-shore cranes that further streamlined operations, enhanced cargo handling capabilities, and ensured faster turnaround times for vessels and trucks.
Beyond operational excellence, VICT is committed to sustainable practices in keeping with ICTSI Group’s environmental stewardship goals. The company actively implements environmentally friendly technologies and fosters a culture of responsible resource management to minimize its environmental footprint.
