Abstract:Qinzhou automation terminal has been in operation for nearly two years,with stable system and equipment operation and steady improvement in operational efficiency.The construction of the Pinglu Canal is accelerating,and it is expected to be completed for navigation by 2026.After opening for navigation,the excavated harbor basin at the Qinzhou automation terminal will become a connecting hub for container river sea intermodal transportation.Based on the multi factor dynamic coefficient method,the growth of container throughput after the opening of the Pinglu Canal is predicted.Combined with the construction conditions of the excavated harbor basin at the Qinzhou automation terminal,the maximum capacity of the terminal shoreline is released.By analyzing the data and results of the operation process of Qinzhou automation terminal,and focusing on the characteristics of ships in the excavated harbor basin service,this study proposes various targeted implementation plans in terms of loading and unloading process mode,shore bridge equipment selection,and terminal layout.Through multidimensional comparison,comprehensive analysis opinions are proposed to ensure smooth operation connection between the excavated harbor basin and the main berth,while also considering the overall operation of the future automation terminal after completion,providing reference for the construction of similar container terminals.
