The lighting system is one of the indispensable auxiliary systems for terminal operations. The design of the lighting system involves many aspects such as lamp arrangement, lamp selection, light source selection, and illumination calculation. According to the different layouts of the wharf, the outdoor lighting methods of different cargo terminal operating areas have different characteristics.

The general layout plan of the freight terminal is generally based on the function of appropriate zoning planning

The selection and arrangement of lighting fixtures and light sources are related to the overall layout of the dock. The common wharf structure forms include shore-side wharf, trestle pier wharf, and dug-in port pond, etc. The front of the ro-ro wharf is generally a floating structure.

Full-style dock along the shore

The lamps of the front working surface can use high pole lamps, which are arranged at the connection between the front and the rear land area.They take into account the area lighting of the front of the dock and the rear cargo yard.

Bridge approach dock

When the length of the approach bridge is not long, the high pole light can be arranged between the approach bridge and the cargo yard. The height of the high pole lamp should make the front edge of the terminal be within the range of illumination.When it is not enough to cover the front of the wharf, the middle pole light and street light lighting can be arranged on the front of the wharf and the approach bridge respectively.

Bridge pier

Due to the scattered work places, it is not suitable to use high-pole lamps for large-area lighting. A more suitable way is to arrange lighting equipment in each area separately

Suspended wharf and dig-in port

The lamps of the front of the wharf can be considered at the same time as the lighting of the cargo yard, and high-pole lamps and middle-pole lamps are arranged in suitable places to achieve large-area lighting..
