Wharf

For the ship docked, loading and unloading cargo and tourist hydraulic structure. It is the main component of port. According to the terminal layout: alongshore, jetty type, such as pier. Pier is divided again and shore bridge linking the isolated pier or bridge with continuous pier; pier and narrow piers ( piers are of an integral structure ) and wide Pier ( on both sides for the wharf structure, with filling constituting the terminal floor.). According to section form, having an upright, slope type, semi erect and half slope type. According to the structure of the form, there is gravity, sheet pile, pile type, slope type, pier column and the floating code type. By use of general, general cargo wharf, wharf ( pier fishing dock, oil, coal dock, dock of ore of container terminals, etc.), passenger terminal, harbor work boat used for the workboat wharf as well as for ship repair and shipbuilding job and dedicated lay-up dock, outfitting pier.

Wharf

Terminal building on the side of the ship vertical plane and horizontal plane intersection, which docked ship coastal length. It was decided to terminal location and elevation plane important baseline. Constitution dock water front hydraulic structures called terminal building. According to the ship's draft depth and the nature of the use of such different, generally divided into deep water, shallow water and auxiliary operation line of shoreline and so on. Various types of port wharf is the total length of the scale of the port important sign, it can at the same time, the number of ships dock operation.

Quay operation zone

From the dock to the first row of storage ( or yard) of the front line between the site. It is a cargo handling, transport and temporary storage sites. In general, a loading and unloading transport equipment; for the mobile machinery, transport vehicles operating zone; some are for straight operating railway. Front operating zone width is not uniform standards, according to the main dock properties, terminal equipments before handling technological process factors determining. Coastal ports in China, groceries dock operation area25~40 metres in width. Forward operating zone of the surface layer, the general concrete, reinforced concrete blocks and block stone paving, to meet the transport machinery walking and site operation requirements.

Passenger station

Passengers handled by boat handling and boarding waiting place. It includes the passenger terminal, the ticket office, waiting room, baggage check-in, small pieces of luggage. Big, medium-sized passenger station and restaurant, canteen, posts and telecommunications traffic service facilities. Passenger station layout, as much as possible, and other transportation hub ( such as a train station, bus station, etc.) closely, to facilitate the passengers set, sparse, transport; to adapt to the development of city, as close as possible to the downtown and the population concentrated area; passenger, cargo terminal to separate settings, to avoid mutual interference; waiting room and passenger wharf to close contact, ensure safe and convenient passenger ship.

Integrated terminal

Also known as the general wharf. To carry out a variety of goods loading and unloading dock. The general mechanical handling equipment, general with loading and unloading parts mainly groceries. This wharf adaptability, the cargo is not stable or batch is compared.

Specialized Wharf

Compared with the general wharf, for a fixed goods and flow of goods loading and unloading dock. Such as: coal dock, fertilizer ( bulk or packaged ) terminals, oil terminals, container dock etc.. Its characteristic is the terminal equipment is relatively fixed, convenient loading and unloading mechanization and automation, high efficiency of loading and unloading, dock carrying capacity, management convenience.

Owner's Wharf

Along the river, river, lake, sea of factories and mines, in the raw materials, fuels, manufactured goods transportation process, in order to reduce the down loading and short-distance transport, reduce product cost, usually in close proximity to the enterprise by building the enterprise wharf near. This kind of strong professional dock, known as the consignor dock.

Container terminal

For container loading and unloading dock. It generally must have special handling, transport equipment, cargo, storage containers should have wide yard, for the classification of goods and the dismantling container container freight station. Because the container can be a variety of miscellaneous pieces of goods and packaging grocery component specification of unity, so the large specialized equipment for loading and unloading, transport, to ensure cargo handling, transport quality, improve the unloading efficiency. So the world to groceries group, containerized transport are very seriously.

Oil wharf

Loading and unloading of crude oil and refined oil professional dock. It is general cargo ( guest) terminals and other fixed structures must have certain safety distance, see " in Hong kong". The wharf is a general character of the cargo load, loading and unloading equipment is relatively simple, the tanker ( such as little river system ), general portable type terminal can adapt to. Due to the huge oil tanker tanker, according to resist wind capacity, have depth features, on the wharf berthing condition requirements is not high. There are four kinds of loading and unloading crude oil deep water wharf (facility ), namely: single point mooring, multi point mooring, island type wharf and the Zhanqiao wharf. Before three kinds of general no wind waves building, finally a fortification buildings as waves, layout and local conditions and.

Berth

A design of standard ship docked at the pier the coastline length or occupancy of the store ship number. The ship berth length generally includes the length of L and between ship and ship the necessary safety interval D. D size according to the size and change, a berth of 10 thousand tons of class15~20 M. Berth number and size is measured in a port or dock scale important symbol. A terminal may be composed of one or several berths, depending on the layout and position dependent.

Berth utilization ratio

A year of actual vessel occupied berth time to the total operating time percentage. It is a measure of the berth usage is one of the parameters is calculated, berth throughput capacity as an indicator. Usually by actual data statistical analysis identified.
