Abstract: The Luojing Port Area of the Port of Shanghai, specifically the coal terminal and ore terminal, used to be the main port area for coal and ore bulk cargo transportation services in the Port of Shanghai.To enhance the container handling capacity at Shanghai port, this study conducted a series of simulation tests at Luojing Container Terminal. The tests were designed according to the terminal's specifications, taking into account the limit berthing wind direction and wind speed (levels 6 and 7). This study selected an appropriate representative ship type for the comprehensive simulation tests, and it thoroughly tested the berthing limits under various extreme conditions using an advanced navigation simulator. The experiment obtained the motion parameters and trajectory of the simulated ship. Based on these results, this study analyzed and evaluated the safety of the rotary waters and berthing operations, ensuring they met the safety assessment requirements for wharf engineering. The study examined the berthing time window, berthing mode, boundary conditions, and safety guarantee measures under extreme sea conditions at Luojing Container Terminal. Finally, By analyzing the berthing simulation trajectory diagrams, tugboat usage, and vessel maneuvering data under the eight extreme berthing conditions, this study formulated a safe berthing plan for ships.

Abstract: In order to further enhance the container throughput capacity of Shanghai Port, a total renovation of the terminal at Luojing port area is planned. The successful implementation of the renovation project not only needs to fully consider the updating of technology and facilities, but also requires an in-depth analysis and assessment of the risks of berthing and unberthing container ships. In this paper, we will collect and organize the hydrometeorological conditions around the terminal, as well as the existing conditions of the port area and the waterway. Through in-depth analysis of the traffic flow data of Luojing Container Terminal, this research will study the navigational environment in the vicinity of the terminal and explore the characteristics and changing trends of the traffic flow. These analyses will help to accurately assess the impact of traffic flow on the safety of berthing and unberthing of container ships. Eventually, this paper will combine the results of the traffic flow analysis of Luojing Container Terminal to propose corresponding risk assessment and response strategies for berthing and unberthing. These strategies will provide a scientific basis for the terminal management to make future decisions, ensure the smooth progress of the renovation project, and enhance the transportation efficiency and safety of the Shanghai port.
