Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of automated container terminal operation optimization, and particularly relates to a single-ship plan management method for establishing a digital ship file at a container terminal. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the vigorous development of global trade, containers have become the core carrier of sea logistics due to their standardization and convenience, promoting the rapid transformation of traditional bulk cargo transportation mode to container transportation mode, and many dry bulk carriers have been converted into container ships. At the same time, the continuous progress of shipbuilding technology has promoted the development of container ships (especially ocean-going ships) towards large-scale and specialization, and the innovation and diversity of ship types have become increasingly prominent, which puts forward higher requirements for the operation management capability of container terminals.

[0003] The operation efficiency of a container terminal directly determines the time of a ship in port, and thus affects the satisfaction of a shipping company with port services, which is a key indicator of the core competitiveness of a port. However, there are significant differences in the operation requirements (such as cabin layout, loading and unloading restrictions), operation box type, and stowage characteristics of different container ships, and the traditional ship management mode has obvious limitations. On the one hand, ship data is stored in physical plane form (such as paper archives and scattered electronic spreadsheets), which is difficult to efficiently aggregate and share, resulting in tedious data calling and low collaboration efficiency when developing a single-ship plan. On the other hand, the lack of systematic digital archives makes it difficult to accurately assess the ship operation capacity and estimate the operation efficiency, and the allocation of resources (such as shore cranes and berths) is blind, which not only increases the cost of human resources and the workload of single-ship planners, but also may cause safety hazards due to information lag or inaccuracy, thereby restricting the improvement of ship turnaround efficiency and overall operation capacity of the terminal.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the current situation of diversified ship types and differentiated operation requirements, it is an urgent need to establish a scientific and systematic digital ship file to transform ship data from a physical plane to a three-dimensional data flow, in order to improve the management level of single-ship plans at container terminals and optimize operation efficiency and safety. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application aims to provide an automated terminal single-ship operation analysis system and method to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical solution: a single-ship plan management method for establishing a digital ship file at a container terminal, which develops plans and updates information through a terminal production operation system and a data management system, and specifically includes the following steps: S11: Collecting basic data of the ship through agents, shipping companies and online information, the basic data of the ship including ship length, ship width, ship height, deadweight tonnage, gross tonnage, hatch cover condition, ramp condition, crane condition, living area condition, safety facility condition and ship passage condition; S12: Importing the collected ship data into the data management system; S13: The terminal production system reads the ship data from the data management system, analyzes whether the shore cranes can operate according to the ship's hatch data combined with the ship data, whether each berth needs to be trimmed, determines the number of ship opening lines and the berth and operation amount of each shore crane operation, and generates a ship operation plan; S14: According to the ship operation plan, the operation plan of each shore crane, the expected completion time and the departure time are obtained, which can be used as a reference for dynamic ship operation; S15: Executing the operation plan, judging whether the ship data needs to be updated according to the actual operation situation, if the data needs to be updated, updating the related data to the data management platform, if the data does not need to be updated, generating a ship operation report of this voyage; S16: Synchronizing the ship operation of this voyage to the data management platform, and updating the corresponding ship operation efficiency and stowage characteristics data; S17: The ship operation of this voyage is completed, and it is judged whether there is a next voyage operation; if there is a next voyage operation of the ship, step S13 is continued.

[0007] Preferably, in step S11, the collected basic data of the ship further includes ship structure, ship stowage characteristics and historical operation condition.

[0008] Preferably, in step S13, the ship's hatch data includes the number, position and box type information of the loaded and unloaded containers.

[0009] Preferably, in step S15, the ship operation report of this voyage contains operation amount, operation efficiency, number of shore cranes, time condition and stowage characteristics.

[0010] Preferably, in step S11, after the basic data of the ship is collected, the data is adjusted and converted according to the format requirement of the data management platform, and then step S12 is executed.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages: The application realizes the full-automatic summarization and multi-dimensional one-key calling of data by establishing a digital ship archive, realizing the electronic system classified archiving of the basic data, structural characteristics, loading characteristics, historical operation conditions and other information of the ship, providing convenient data support for single-ship plan loading work, and effectively improving the ship operation efficiency and operation safety. At the same time, the establishment of the digital archive lays a solid foundation for scientific evaluation of ship operation capacity, accurate estimation of operation efficiency and formulation of ship dynamic plan, greatly saves the human resource cost, and reduces the working time and energy input of the single-ship planner.

[0012] The method realizes the dynamic updating of ship data in the operation process through the cooperation of the wharf production operation system and the data management system, ensures the timeliness and accuracy of the data. This dynamic management mode not only helps to accelerate the turnover of the wharf ship and improve the overall operation capacity of the wharf, but also provides a referenceable management scheme for similar container wharfs, has wide applicability and promotion value.
