In the case of the automated container terminal project in Qinzhou Port，the current mainstream automated container terminal scheme cannot well adapt to the land area and container operation characteristics of Qinzhou Port. To address this problem，this study proposes a new U-shaped fully automated container terminal scheme and elaborately describes its handling process system. The scheme has good adaptability to the container terminals with large depth of terrain，a high proportion of container collection and distribution by land，and significant characteristics of centralized arrival of container trucks outside the port，which can provide a reference for subsequent similar projects.
