The invention discloses three-dimensional general arrangement, loading and unloading process and 
system of an automatic container 
wharf. The container 
wharf comprises six parts: a seagoing vessel 
wharf, a lighter berth, a seagoing vessel wharf 
front edge working area, a lighter berth 
front edge working area, a container 
yard and a landside interaction area. The loading and unloading 
system is formed by a 
quay crane, a lighter loading and unloading ship 
overhead crane, a seagoing vessel wharf 
front edge three-dimensional track horizontal transportation 
system, a lighter berth front edge three-dimensional track horizontal transportation system and a three-dimensional automatic container 
yard loading and unloading system. The loading and unloading process comprises the steps of unloading a ship; loading and unloading a ship at the lighter berth; carrying out cargo concentration in a port and evacuation of cargoes from the port for a container, and loading and unloading the container; andrehandling, loading and unloading a container 
yard. The various function areas in general arrangement are compact in arrangement, high in 
land area utilization rate, short in horizontal load distance,free of interference, and low in 
energy consumption. The whole loading and unloading system and the process technology are mature and reliable, the 
control system is simple, and the cost is low.
