Analysis of Guangzhou Container Terminal Capacity

Term Project
Throughput Capacity Report of Indented Berth Design at Guangzhou Container Terminal No.1

Objective:
In this term project, a seaport terminal is selected to calculate the current throughput capacity based on the data measured in google earth and found on the official website. Then we should propose a modified berth layout by changing the existing berth to include an indented berth, and estimate the increasing rate of the annual throughput capacity.
I selected Guangzhou Terminal No.1 (Nansha Port Area PhaseⅡ) as my study port.

1. Introduction

1.1 Description
Guangzhou Container Terminal No.1 (GOCT) is also called the Nansha Phase II project of Guangzhou Port. GOCT is co-invested by Guangzhou Port Group Co., Ltd. and COSCO Pacific and APM. The terminal is mainly engaged in container vessel accommodation and
