To solve the problems of scattered existing land area layout，inadequate land use，and insufficient yard capacity of Ningbo Daxie CMICT，the study was conducted to optimize its land area layout to intensify land use and enhance the competitiveness and development potential of the terminal. Based on the research and analysis，we sort out the main problems in the current land area layout. Through the calculation and analysis of berth passing capacity and yard capacity，we reasonably determine the overall capacity scale of the terminal，which guides the adjustment and optimization of the land area layout. The evaluation of the optimization work conducted in terms of both land use and yard capacity reveals that good results are achieved. The study proposes a feasible idea for optimizing the land area layout of large container terminals，which can provide a reference for similar project studies.
