On the morning of December 10, 2017, Shanghai Yangshan Deep-water Port Phase 4 opened.
As the largest automated terminal in the world, Shanghai Yangshan Deep-Water Port Phase-4 Terminal officially opened for trial production and injected a whole new impetus for Shanghai Port to accelerate into the forefront of the world shipping center. Shanghai Yangshan Port, the world's first island-type deep-water container port area, container throughput accounted for more than 40% of Shanghai Port, Shanghai International Shipping Center is an important support point .On the 10th Yangshan Port opened four , Is the world's largest single fully automated terminals, but also the world's highest degree of automation of the dock.

Yangshan Deepwater Port is the world's largest island artificial deep water port and a strategic and pivotal project for the construction of Shanghai International Shipping Center. Phase I and III of Yangshan Port have been completed with a total of 16 deepwater containers of 70,000 -1500 tons Berths to release annual container throughput of more than 15 million TEUs of production capacity.On February 10, the Yangshan Port Phase 4 wharf opened its construction from 2014 to be equipped with 7 large-scale container deepwater berths with an initial design capacity of 4 million Standard box, forward 6.3 million TEUs. At present, the first batch of 10 bridge crane has been completed debugging, 40 rail crane, 50 automatic guided vehicles (AGV) will be put into trial opening production, according to the plan, Yangshan The fourth phase will eventually be equipped with 26 bridge cranes, 120 rail cranes and 130 AGVs. The large-scale automated terminals will be built and put into operation at an unprecedented level. The annual throughput of Shanghai Port after the opening of the fourth phase of Yangshan Port Will exceed 40 million boxes, the figure is the total throughput of all ports in the United States, is also one-tenth of the annual global port throughput.
Yangshan four is also known as the "devil pier." This unmanned 'devil pier' compared to the traditional container terminal, the biggest feature is the realization of the terminal container handling, horizontal transport, the whole process of loading and unloading dock yard intelligence This means that there will be no more people in the entire piers and yards, not only that the quayside will not require people to drive, that container trucks are no longer needed, and that containers are transported directly to the heap by autonomous, unmanned AGV vehicles Field, yard crane is also unmanned operation.All the original terminal operator transferred to the monitoring room, facing the computer screen will be able to complete all operations.
In the near future, the four fully automated terminals will reach 40 cases / hour, far exceeding the labor efficiency of man-made terminals and reducing manpower by 70%. In addition, the automated docks can operate 24 hours a day to ensure the safety and operation of workers The environment has also been greatly improved, and electricity-driven, energy saving and environmental protection.So who is in command of fully automated terminals? The answer is the independent research and development of the port of Hong Kong Intelligent Production Management System (TOS) and Zhenhua Heavy Industries independently developed intelligent control System (ECS system), both of which form the 'brain' and 'nerve' of the Yangshan Phase-4 terminal, and the development and application of these two systems have enabled China's fully-automated terminal to actually use 'China Core'.
