Case Study Description

Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT), located at Webb Dock East in the Port of Melbourne, is one of the region’s most advanced automated terminals. To support its ASC yard system, VICT began installing RNEDAFLEX-AS 11/11 kV gantry reel cables in May 2020, used with Kalmar ASCs and Cavotec Specimas reel systems.The RNEDAFLEX-AS cable is engineered for high-duty reeling operations, combining flexible copper conductors for long service life, reinforced rubber insulation meeting AS/NZS 2802 for heavy industrial use, fibre-optic elements ensuring stable automated control, and mechanical performance aligned with DIN VDE 0250-813.Operating in Melbourne’s coastal climate—with strong winds, salt exposure, and temperature variation—the cable has shown excellent resistance to torsion, UV, and flex fatigue. Its stable power and data performance continue to support VICT’s 24/7 automated yard operations with reliability and low maintenance demand.
