Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT) in the Port of Melbourne, Australia has reached the five million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) mark since commencing operations in 2017.
“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,” VICT chief executive officer Bruno Porchietto said in a statement.
“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.
VICT has consistently demonstrated its commitment to growth through strategic infrastructure investments, according to mother company International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI).
Last January, ICTSI inaugurated the Phase 3A expansion of VICT, increasing its capacity by 30% to 1.25 million TEUs and enabling the terminal to handle larger vessels and cater to the growing demand.
Phase 3A is part of the AU$235 million (P8.5 billion) expansion project that is being carried out in two phases.
Phase 3B, meanwhile, is scheduled to be completed in 2026 and will include the acquisition of another automated ship-to-shore crane, three auto container carriers, four auto stacking cranes, and construction of two additional storage blocks.
Further, aligned with the ICTSI Group’s environmental stewardship goals, fully automated VICT actively implements environmentally friendly technologies and fosters a culture of responsible resource management to minimize its environmental footprint, ICTSI said.
