Infrastructure Context
Webb Dock is a critical component of the Port of Melbourne, hosting the Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT). Unlike other terminals, Webb Dock currently lacks direct rail access, which was previously deemed "crucial" for handling the 14,000 TEU vessels that frequently call at the facility.
