On November 14, China Merchants Port held the opening ceremony of Mawan Smart Port, which is the first 5G smart port to be built in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
After more than 3 years of overall upgrading and construction, the original 4 bulk cargo berths in Mawan Port have been upgraded to 2 special berths for 200,000dwt containers.
The transformed port area covers an area of 983,600 square meters, with a total berth coastline length of 1,930 meters, 5 berths, and a designed throughput capacity of over 3 million TEUs. It can be used for berthing of the world's largest container ships. It is an economic and efficient new generation of smart container port.
According to calculations, the comprehensive construction cost of Mawan Smart Port has been reduced by 37%. In terms of the single-machine operation capacity of the quay crane, the remote control semi-automatic operation is 28 containers/hour, and the remote control full manual operation is 35 containers/hour. The average achieved efficiency of quay cranes is 29.34 containers/hour.
The efficiency of terminal operations has been greatly improved compared with that before the reconstruction, and the carbon emission is reduced by 90%.
