Layout of container terminal

The whole loading and unloading operation of the container terminal is mechanized, large-scale production mode, the requirements of all operations closely cooperate to achieve the high efficiency of the loading and unloading process system. This requires the container terminal facilities are reasonably arranged, and make them organically linked to form a coordinated, coordinated operations of the organic whole, the formation of a high-efficiency, perfect flow line, in order to shorten the car, the ship, the box in the port terminal berthing time, accelerate the turnover of the car, the ship, the box to reduce transportation costs and loading and unloading costs, and to achieve the best economic efficiency.

The above figure for the lifting type full container ship special terminal layout sketch, for the container special terminal, terminal arrangement mainly requires container berth shoreline length of 300m or more, container terminal land depth should be able to meet the requirements of a variety of facilities on the land area. Due to the increasingly large container ships, carrying more and more boxes, therefore, the land area depth is generally more than 350m, some container terminals have been as high as 500m; the width of the terminal front is generally about 40m, depending on the container loading and unloading process system and the parameters of the container wall cranes and the type of machinery for horizontal transportation; generally the terminal front does not pave the railroad line, do not consider the car and ship to take the direct loading and unloading methods, in order to ensure that the front of the ship handling. To ensure that the dock front ship loading and unloading efficiency is not therefore affected; each container dedicated berth, configure two shore wall container cranes. Container yard is a place for container loading and unloading and storage and custody, the size of the container yard should be based on the design of the ship's loading and unloading capacity and the density of ships to the port decision. Relevant information shows that the shoreline length of 300m berth, the yard area of 105,000m2, or even larger, which is also related to the use of loading and unloading process system and container stay time in Hong Kong; container freight station (disassembled container depot) can be arranged in the container terminals, generally arranged in the place between the gate and the yard, but also can be arranged outside the container terminals; the arrangement of all channels should be based on the loading and unloading process and mechanical requirements.
