“This is an achievement that everyone who have helped build the terminal and are invested in the success of the State of Victoria should celebrate,” said Enrique K. Razon Jr., chairman and president of ICTSI.
“Once we start operations in January, VICT will be the most technologically advanced container terminal in the world,” he added.
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.
Five new neo-panamax quay cranes arrived earlier this year. The state-of-the-art cranes work almost fully automated in combination with other automated port equipment, improving stevedoring operations at the terminal, as well as raising efficiency and safety, ICTSI pointed out.
