The additional ASCs, purchased as part of VICT’s continuing expansion project, will operate on three new yard modules, increasing the terminal’s yard by 30% and reefer capacity by 43%.
In addition, 15 new truck grids will be installed on the landside, increasing slot availability by 30%.
VICT is also adding two additional bigger ship-to-shore (STS) cranes to its fleet, bringing the total number of STS cranes to seven.
The new cranes will have an extent of 22 containers, allowing them to handle up to 14,000-teu Neo-Panamax ships.
Furthermore, the quay line will be expanded by 71 metres to accommodate two 336-metre-long vessels berthing at the same time.
The extension is expected to be finished and operational by the beginning of 2024, with the expectation of increasing VICT’s annual throughput capacity to 1.25 million teu, up from 250,000 teu.
