ICTSI enhances Victoria International Container Terminal with new equipment

International Container Terminal Services, Inc.’s (ICTSI’s) facility in the port of Montreal Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT) is expanding its equipment fleet with six new automated stacking cranes (ASC).

VICT is the first fully automated container terminal in Australia and the new ASCs will operate on three new yard modules to increase the terminal’s yard and reefer capacity by 30% and 43%, respectively. According to ICTSI, 15 additional truck grids will also be added to the landside to increase slot availability by 30%.

Victoria International Container Terminal is also acquiring two new larger ship-to-shore (STS) cranes, bringing the total STS fleet to seven. The new cranes will have an outreach of 22 containers to enable the handling of up to 14,000-TEU capacity Neo-Panamax ships. Moreover, the quay line will be extended by 71 meters to allow two 336-meter-long vessels to berth simultaneously, according to ICTSI’s statement.

VICT’s expansion is scheduled to be completed and operational by the start of 2024 and will raise the terminal’s annual throughput capacity by 250,000 TEUs to 1.25 million TEUs.
