The milestone solidifies VICT’s position as a key player in Australia’s ever-evolving logistics landscape.
“Since opening our doors at Webb Dock in 2017, VICT has been dedicated to continuous improvement, investing heavily in innovative technology, the highest safety and sustainability standards, and the well-being of our valued staff,” said Bruno Porchietto, VICT chief executive officer.
“Reaching five million TEUs is a testament to this unwavering commitment and a significant accomplishment for the entire VICT team. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the staff for their dedication and hard work,” he added.
