| SPONSOR OF THE WEEK With an increase in container volume at VICT and following a trial period after consultation with Transport Companies, VICT are pleased to be able to confirm an extension of Landside operating hours. The allocation of new resources means that VICT is able to structurally implement this extension, therefore further improving Landside operations for our customers.
Starting at 06:00hrs on Sunday 2nd February 2020, VICT will effectively remain open 7 days a week, closing only between 14:00hrs Saturday and 06:00hrs Sunday.
We will continue to monitor slot utilisation over these extended opening hours and encourage all transport carriers visiting VICT to make good use of off-peak slots in order to keep operations moving with maximum efficiency. |  |

| The LoadStar - More anger in Melbourne docks as Patrick cuts night shifts at short notice "The market anticipates that Patrick will announce further infrastructure fee increases in February for March commencement," added Mr Zalai. He claimed the night shift reduction was "further evidence that the infrastructure fee increases are about making up for lost revenue from shipping lines, and not as much about investment in landside interface productivity improvements, let alone maintaining service levels." ... read more |
