Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT) in Australia has upgraded its Koala service, enhancing maritime connections to Asian markets. Operated by MSC, the service now offers a fixed weekly route

Why It's Important?
The enhanced Koala service is significant for international trade, providing Australian exporters with direct access to key Asian markets. This improvement in maritime logistics can boost economic activity and strengthen trade relations between Australia and Asia. It also reflects the growing importance of efficient supply chains in global commerce.
