The Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT) has announced it has signed a new enterprise agreement with local unions.
The four-year deal sees VICT cover the entirety of its operations until March 2029.
The agreement was secured without any disruption to operations and reflects VICT’s relationship with its workforce.
VICT is the Australian cargo handling operation of International Container Terminal Services (ICTSI) and is the nation’s first fully automated container terminal, and one of the most technologically advanced in the world.
“This outcome demonstrates our commitment to working collaboratively with our people and unions,” VICT CEO Bruno Porchietto says.
“This agreement not only delivers meaningful benefits for employees but also provides VICT with the flexibility needed to service our customers and meet the evolving industry demands.”
Key highlights of the agreement include enhanced benefits and employee conditions, greater flexibility to align with customer and industry requirements and a secure industrial relations framework to support growth and innovation.
By ensuring stability across VICT’s operations, the new agreement strengthens VICT’s ability to provide safe, reliable and efficient container handling services to customers while supporting the well-being and engagement of its people.
VICT says the agreement is a positive agreement for everyone involved, giving VICT employees security and improved benefits, while providing the ICTSI subsidiary and its customers the continuity and certainty needed in today’s competitive supply chain environment.
