Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT), the fully automated container handling facility of International Container Terminal Services Inc. (ICTSI) in the Port of Melbourne, Australia, has reached the five million TEU mark in seven years.
In a statement, ICTSI said the milestone solidifies 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," said VICT Chief Executive Officer Bruno Porchietto.
He added that "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 company has consistently demonstrated its commitment to growth through strategic infrastructure investments.
The recent completion of the terminal expansion 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, aligning with the 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.
