Victoria International Container Terminal recently took delivery of six new automated container carriers (ACC) from Kalmar, according to the company's release.
The ACCs were unloaded from the Eemslift Dafne at the Port of Melbourne, expanding VICT’s fleet to a total of 17 units.
The fleet expansion further enhances container movement between automated ship-to-shore- cranes on the terminal’s quay side and auto stacking cranes on the land side.
The new ACCs form part of VICT’s AUD139 million investment into Webb Dock and the Victorian economy over the next two years, which complement the Port of Melbourne’s investment to remove the “knuckle” and add another 71 meters of quay line to berth 4 of Webb Dock East.
