On July 1, the world's first full-process automation upgrading and transformation project of traditional container terminals was completed in Tianjin Port, marking the large-scale application of the "Tianjin Plan" for the full-process automation upgrading and transformation of traditional container terminals in the largest container terminal in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. The automation upgrade and transformation of traditional container terminals around the world provides a successful example that can be used for reference.

In recent years, starting from the actual needs of the upgrading and reconstruction of traditional container terminals, Tianjin Port Group has focused on solving the problems of large investment, long construction period and difficult promotion of automated container terminals under the existing design scheme. A "China Path" suitable for the upgrading and transformation of traditional container terminals.

Since 2019, the construction of Tianjin Port’s smart port has been accelerated, a series of worldwide problems have been overcome one after another, and a series of breakthrough achievements have emerged frequently: the realization of all 31 site rail bridges to automate the transformation, the world’s first unmanned electric truck for the whole ship Operation, the commercial landing of the world's first intelligent unlocking station, the unmanned operation of unmanned collection cards in the closed area, the approval to build the world's first port autonomous driving demonstration area, the world's first traditional container terminal full-process automation upgrade and transformation project is fully operational...one step The solid struggle of one footprint has created a "Tianjin Model" with unique Chinese characteristics.

The remarkable achievements of Tianjin Port's smart port construction have been widely recognized at home and abroad. As an important partner of Tianjin Port Group, COSCO SHIPPING Group will continue to increase investment, and jointly promote a number of major projects such as the world's first traditional container terminal full-process automation upgrade and transformation project with Tianjin Port Group, and jointly create a new benchmark for smart port construction, "" A new model of cooperation between central and local governments.

Since the world's first full-process automation upgrading and transformation project of traditional container terminals has been fully operational, the project team has continued to promote the automation transformation of the other 8 container quay cranes with the goal of "quantitative change" in scale and "qualitative change" in function, and simultaneously optimize and solve the operation process, internal and external Complicated issues such as the combination of trucks and trucks, further release the scale effect of automation upgrades. At present, all 4 berths in the north area of the East Jetty Dock of Tianjin Port have achieved efficient automatic operation, the average operation efficiency has increased by more than 20%, the average energy consumption per container has been reduced by 20%, and the comprehensive operating cost has been reduced by 10%. The practicability has been strongly confirmed, and it has become the earliest and largest automated container terminal in the world, which was transformed from a traditional container terminal, providing stronger support for the extensive replication and promotion of the "Tianjin Plan".

Yang Jiemin, vice president of Tianjin Port Group, said that Tianjin Port Group has made unswerving strides in the direction of General Secretary Xi Jinping, striving to build a world-class smart port, and has achieved a series of notable achievements. After the completion of the whole-process automation upgrade and transformation project of the world's first traditional container terminal, Tianjin Port's large-scale container loading and unloading equipment accounted for 49.5% of the automation, taking a leading position in the industry. In the future, Tianjin Port will continue to make efforts in the aspects of infrastructure intelligence, production operation intelligence, operation management digitization, etc., to create more benchmark achievements of smart ports, and to better serve the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and the joint construction of the "Belt and Road". .
