To provide a container terminal allowing a carriage to smoothly move between two parallel traveling passages and capable of improving efficiency of cargo work and reducing electric power consumption, and a method of controlling the container terminal.
A container terminal includes: an outgoing passage 11 and a return passage 12 located adjacent to a storage lane in which a container is stored and extending in the longitudinal direction of the storage lane; and a cart 9 self-propelling in the outgoing passage 11 and the return passage 12. A direction change part 13 is installed at each of at least both ends of the outgoing passage 11 and the return passage 12. The direction change part includes: an outgoing passage turntable 14 rotating about a vertical axial line of a turn passage 14a that is part of the outgoing passage 11; a return passage turntable 15 rotating about a vertical axial line of a turn passage 15a that is part of the return passage 12; and a connection passage 16 interconnecting the turn passage 14a and the turn passage 15a when the outgoing passage turntable 14 and the return passage turntable 15 are rotated. A traveling passage in which the cart 9 is self-propelled is formed with at least one circular passage 10.
