The process design of the cruise terminal should not only meet the requirements of safe berthing,but also ensure that the visitors and luggage can conveniently board and disembark.The rationality of the process design plays a very important role in the safe and efficient operation of the cruise terminal.To the characteristics of cruise ship terminal process design,this paper compares and analyzes the existing cruise ship terminals in China,and studies the process layout and equipment selection of cruise ship terminals,and demonstrates the main technical parameters.The conclusion shows that the selection of cruise terminal process scheme should be comprehensively considered based on factors such as process equipment characteristics,special requirements for connecting cruise ships,terminal layout,terminal usage requirements and landscape requirements.This article also combines the development needs of smart cruise ports,and puts forward the technical development outlook for cruise terminal process equipment,aiming to provide reference for the design and construction of the cruise terminals.
