Victoria International Container Terminal reaches 5 million TEUs

Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT), International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI)’s fully automated container handling facility in Australia’s Port of Melbourne, has reached the five million TEU mark since commencing operations.

“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,” said Bruno Porchietto, VICT CEO.

He added, “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.”

The recent completion of the terminal expansion increased VICT’s capacity by 30% to 1.25 million TEUs, enabling the handling of larger vessels and catering to the growing demand.

VICT also aims to enhance its operational efficiency by investing in next-generation technology, including the recent acquisition of new automated stacking cranes and super post-Panamax ship-to-shore cranes.
