The container throughput of Shanghai Port has been continuously increasingRanked first in the world in 2016, 37 million TEUs have been completed from January to August this year, and it is expected to reach a new historical high for the whole year. At present, Shanghai Port is accelerating the construction of the container terminal and supporting facilities in Xiaoyangshan North Operation Area and the second phase of the container terminal renovation project in Luojing Port Area.

According to the Port Circle（ID:gangkouquan）Understood,After the container terminal in Xiaoyangshan North Operation Area is put into operation, it will become the third automated container terminal in Shanghai PortPreviously, Shanghai Port Yangshan Phase IV (Shangdong Port) and Luojing Phase I (Luodong Port) have both been put into operation.

The total investment of the Xiaoyangshan North Operation Area project is 51.3 billion yuan,The container terminal has a coastline of 5500 meters, including 7 70000 ton and 15 20000 ton container berths, with a designed annual throughput capacity of 11.6 million TEUs. The entire project is divided into three parts from west to east: West, Central, and East,The project is divided into four sections for construction, with the western section divided into the first section and the second section to be carried out in batches.

The Xiaoyangshan North Operation Area adopts a fully automated loading and unloading process of "automated quay crane+unmanned truck collection+automated yard bridge". At present, there is an operational area in the western regionAll 5 automated shore cranes have been put in place and will beThe first ship trial operation was completed on September 26th.

The western section is also equipped with 20 rail cranes, 5 tire cranes, 40 AIV automatic horizontal transport vehicles, and 40 intelligent heavy trucks. During the National Day holiday, the equipment arrival rate has reached 70%, and it is expected to arrive at the port before the end of October. It will be completed and put into operation in December.The formation of the second section of the land area in the western region has been basically completed, and the construction of the container terminal is being promoted, with a plan for 2028Fully completed and put into operation around June;The Eastern and Central districts are advancing synchronously and orderly.

The south side of Xiaoyangshan North Operation Area is the first to third phase docks of Yangshan Port AreaAfter completion, it will form a "combination port" pattern with complementary advantages and coordinated development with the southern port area. Future SIPG Group will useThe new generation of automated terminal intelligent operation management system will unify the operation of the entire Yangshan Port area.

In terms of Luojing Port Area,Before the National Day holiday, the first phase of Luojing successfully completed the procedures for opening and using the port to the outside world,On September 30th, the first foreign trade vessel docked. In the future, Luodong Port can undertake near ocean routes such as Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, sharing the backlog pressure of ships in the Waigaoqiao Port area; After the second phase is put into operation, it can also undertake dangerous goods foreign trade container business, further improving the layout of Shanghai Port's near ocean routes. The annual design capacity of Phase I is 2.6 million TEUs, and after the completion of Phase II, an additional throughput capacity of 1.4 million TEUs will be added.

At present, the civil engineering of the second phase automated terminal has been basically completed,All 4 shore bridges and 16 rail cranes have been brought ashore, and the coastline with a total length of about 883 meters has begun to take shape. During the National Day holiday, Luojing Phase II will carry out equipment single machine debugging and multi system joint debugging and testing. It is expected to have trial operation conditions by the end of this year and officially operate before the Spring Festival in 2027.

In addition, according to the Shanghai State owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, Shanghai Port Group will also try sea side automation technology for large equipment shore cranes and track cranes in the second phase of Luojing.

According to the Port Circle（ID:gangkouquan）Understood, in a fully automated container terminal, both the yard bridge and the container truck can operate fully automatically, and the shore bridge and land side can also handle containers fully automatically. HoweverWhen working with ships on the sea side, due to the complex working environment, there are various difficulties such as ship shaking, complex weather, and blind spots in the field of vision. Remote control drivers still need to intervene, and one remote control driver can only operate one shore bridge.

At present, a few ports such as Tianjin Port are located at some terminalsABB and other technology manufacturers have also launched shore bridge and sea side automation solutions to achieve full process automation of shore bridge and sea side operations, allowing remote control drivers to operate multiple shore bridges simultaneously. However, shore bridge and sea side automation technology is far from being popularized.
