ICTSI completes Australia's most advanced terminal ahead of time
VICTORIA International Container Terminal (VICT) recently celebrated the completion of its terminal in Webb Dock in Melbourne, Australia ahead of schedule.
The Webb Dock East located VICT has become the third terminal operator at the Port of Melbourne, which is the largest container and general cargo port in Australia with a capacity of 2.5 million TEU, according to media reports.
This terminal addition will add one berth of 330 metres, fitted with three Neo-Panamax robotic ship-to-shore (STS) cranes, 23.7 hectares of yard and off-dock area with fully automated operations from the gate to the quayside. With this new operation, the port is looking to deliver an estimated capacity of 350,000 standard containers.
Commenting on the early opening, International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) chairman and president by Enrique K Razon Jr said, "This is an achievement that everyone who has helped build the terminal and are invested in the success of the State of Victoria should celebrate. Once we start operations in January, VICT will be the most technologically advanced container terminal in the world".
In 2014, VICT signed a 26-year concession with the Port of Melbourne Corporation to build, operate and expand the container terminal at Webb Dock East. The first phase of terminal operations is expected to commence by the start of 2017.
