The contradiction between port and city becomes more and more obvious，Shijiu port area of Rizhao Port promotes the southward movement of bulk cargo operation area，divide the east，west，and north area for clean cargo handling service，and extends the length of container terminal shoreline. Taking the reconstruction project of the automatic container of the general terminal in Shijiu port area of Rizhao Port as an example，we compare the two general layouts including the direction of stockyard parallel and vertical to the shoreline，determine the general layout of the stockyard parallel to the shoreline considering the automated level，capital input，and the handling efficiency. This general layout can effectively improve the operational capacity of the stockyard，reduce the construction investment. It has good application value，and reserve the development space for the long-term application of unmanned container truck technology.
