Abstract:Driven by the global intelligent transformation of ports and the dual carbon goals,fully automated container terminals have become the core direction for port upgrading.In view of the different characteristics of automated container terminals themselves,especially in the approach bridge type terminal structure (such as Shanghai Waigaoqiao port area and Ningbo-Zhoushan Port),the high waterway-waterway transit ratio (such as the fourth phase of Guangzhou Nansha),as well as the complex water conditions of the terminal (such as inland river terminal in the Yangtze River ) or in the case of renovated terminals,the traditional layout mode of automated container terminals with the container yard operation lines perpendicular to the shoreline cannot be well adapted.By analyzing the existing problems in the vertical layout and end loading and unloading mode automated terminals in terms of traffic organization and operational efficiency when dealing with the conditions of approach bridge and high waterway-waterway transit ratio,this paper proposes a suitable container terminal yard layout mode for approach bridge layout and waterway-waterway transit ratio conditions from the aspects of terminal shoreline utilization and water area layout,yard layout,and traffic organization,which can provide reference for the design of similar fully automated container terminals.
