Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT), the Australian subsidiary of International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI), has signed a comprehensive enterprise agreement with local unions, securing labor conditions across its operations until March 2029.
Finalized without operational disruptions, the long-term pact strengthens VICT’s industrial relations framework and affirms its commitment to collaborative workforce engagement.
“This outcome demonstrates our commitment to working collaboratively with our people and unions,” said VICT CEO Bruno Porchietto. “It not only delivers meaningful benefits for employees, but also provides VICT with the flexibility needed to service our customers and meet the evolving industry demands.”
Key features of the agreement include improved employee benefits and conditions, increased operational flexibility to align with customer and market needs, and a stable industrial relations environment supporting growth and innovation.
From a corporate standpoint, the agreement enhances VICT’s value proposition by ensuring continuity of service and operational certainty—critical factors in today’s competitive supply chain environment. For customers and partners, it underscores VICT’s capacity to deliver reliable, safe, and efficient container handling services amid rising global logistics demands.
As Australia’s first fully automated container terminal, VICT plays a strategic role in the Port of Melbourne, contributing an additional 1.4 million TEU in capacity. The terminal remains a key ICTSI asset, leveraging advanced automation and safety technologies to support long-term growth.
