Abstract:The phaseⅠcontainer terminal renovation project in Luojing port area of Shanghai Port is the first fully renovative case in China to convert a traditional bulk cargo terminal into an automated container terminal.The project exemplifies the intensive and economical use of resources,and represents a significant practice in developing new quality productive forces through the renovation and upgrading of traditional industries.In terms of general layout,the project innovatively introduces a “triple lines of berths in single shoreline along the long approach bridge” design.The traditional physical isolation between manually assisted operation areas and automated operation zones at the terminal front operation area is removed.The automated handling process and traffic flow organization achieves limited mixed operation between automated intelligent vehicle and manually driven trucks.The construction plan fully demonstrates the circular and intensive utilization of existing facilities.On the basis of the characteristics of phaseⅠcontainer terminal renovation project in Luojing port area of Shanghai Port,we summarize some innovative methods on the general layout mode for building new generation automated container terminals,and provide references for the construction of other domestic automated container terminals and the automation upgrading and renovation of traditional manual terminals.
