International Container Terminal Services, Inc.’s (ICTSI) Australian operation, Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT) in Melbourne, recently received the inaugural call of COSCO Shipping Lines’ newly launched ANE service.
The ANE service directly connects Australia’s southeastern coast and New Zealand, providing coverage up to Bell Bay in Tasmania.
Catering to the speed-to-market requirement between key ports on the Eastbound and Westbound Trans-Tasman lanes, the service rotates ports from Melbourne – Bell Bay – Sydney – Auckland – Melbourne.
COSCO operates the ANE service together with Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL), a container shipping and logistics service company with headquarters in Hong Kong.
“VICT looks forward to the opportunities that come with being part of such an important route, as well as a stronger partnership with COSCO Shipping Line and OOCL,” remarked Olga Coelho, VICT chief commercial officer.
COSCO’s new service commenced with the arrival of the 1,100-TEU boxship Contship Yen at VICT last month. The VICT is a fully-automated container terminal capable of servicing the largest existing and next-class vessels on trade and has been operating since 2017.
