Friday Focus: Qingdao’s Fully Automated Terminal
With the goal of building a fully automated container terminal that offers high productivity levels and a safer environment, Qingdao New Qianwan Terminal (QQCTN) opted for Navis’ N4 terminal operating system (TOS).
Operated by the Port of Qingdao, one of the largest trade hubs in the world for container cargo, QQCTN is the first automated container terminal in Asia and one of the most advanced facilities of its kind in the world.
Now the first phase of construction has been completed, QQCTN plans to increase its number of fully automated berths from two to six, allowing it to achieve an annual throughput capacity of 5.5 million TEU and average quay crane productivity of 40 moves per hour.
In order to streamline its operations and boost efficiency, QQCTN partnered with Navis to implement the N4 TOS, integrating software and equipment to smoothen terminal processes.
QQCTN leverages N4’s advanced functionality to enhance the potential of automated equipment, including optimized scheduling, dispatching and analytics.
In addition to this, Navis’ TOS supports dynamic interfaces to the Equipment Control System (ECS) and QQCTN’s in-house terminal management system.
With the help of Navis, QQCTN has already completed more than 1,100 vessel calls with 100% on-schedule performance, all in a cost-effective manner due to unmanned operations and a reduction in labour costs.
Frederik Stork, Navis, discusses artifical intelligence and machine learning for container terminal operations in a recent Port Technology technical paper
There are also environmental benefits to the collaboration between QQCTN and Navis, as using the N4 TOS has helped the terminal to introduce new technologies which maintain the productivity, reliability and eco-friendliness of operations.
Zhang Liangang, General Manager of QQCTN, commented: “We immediately aligned with Navis’ vision for the future of innovation in the ocean shipping industry and with its experience helping terminals around the world achieve their goals for automation, we knew we made the right choice in selecting N4 for our TOS.
“Once we started, the Navis team helped us automate our terminal in record time.”

周五聚焦：青岛全自动化码头
青岛新前湾集装箱码头(QQCTN)采用了Navis公司的N4码头操作系统(TOS)，旨在打造高效、安全的全自动化集装箱码头。
QQCTN由世界上最大的集装箱货运贸易枢纽之一青岛港运营，是亚洲第一个集装箱自动化码头，也是世界上同类设施最先进的码头之一。
目前一期工程已完成，QQCTN计划将全自动化泊位数量从2个增加到6个，实现年吞吐能力550万TEU，桥吊平均作业效率每小时40自然箱。
为简化操作，提高效率，QQCTN与Navis合作，实施N4操作系统，整合软件和设备，使码头作业更加顺畅。
QQCTN利用N4的先进功能来增强自动化设备的潜力，包括优化调度、调度和分析。
除此之外，Navis的操作系统还支持与设备控制系统(ECS)和QQCTN内部终端管理系统的动态接口。
在Navis的帮助下，QQCTN已经完成1100多艘船舶的100%按计划靠泊，由于无人操作和劳动力成本的降低，所有这些都是划算的。
Navis的Frederik Stork在最近的一篇港口技术论文中讨论了集装箱码头作业的人工智能和机器改进
QQCTN和Navis的合作也带来了环境效益，因为使用N4操作系统帮助码头引入了新技术，从而保持了码头作业的生产效率、可靠性和生态友好性。
QQCTN总经理张连钢评说:“我们与Navis对未来海运业创新的愿景保持一致，凭借其经验帮助世界各地码头实现自动化的目标，我们知道选择N4作为我们的操作系统是正确的。”
“一开始，Navis团队就帮助我们通过码头自动化打破纪录。”
