Abstract

Inland waterway service zones are key nodes in the public service system for inland waterway transportation. Its planning and construction standards directly affect the efficiency of waterway operations, the ability to prevent and control ship pollution, and the quality of crew services. This article takes the anchoring service area of Yuyao Port on the Hangzhou-Ningbo Canal as the research object. The functional positioning of the anchorage service area, the matching demonstration of transportation volume, the verification of berth scale and the comparison of construction schemes were systematically expounded. The research proposes a phased reserve strategy of "operating 1,000 tons in the near term and developing 2,000 tons in the long term". A three-level functional system of "basic functions-enhanced functions-reserved functions for the future" has been established. The analysis of volume matching indicates that the 6-berth scheme exhibits operational characteristics of "basic matching under normal conditions and a gap at peak times". The scheme comparison and selection are carried out from dimensions such as functional integrity, land use conditions, safety and environmental protection, and investment economy. It is recommended that the West bank Comprehensive Ecological Service Area be selected as the first-phase implementation plan and the east bank logistics collaborative service area as the second-phase expansion plan. The research results can provide references for the planning of water service areas in high-grade inland waterways.
