         6 . The quay-wall system of  claim 1 , wherein the ramp is adapted to be folded and unfolded at one side surface of the floating body. 
     
     
         7 . The quay-wall system of  claim 1 , wherein
 the pallet comprises a bottom plate and a supporting frame formed upward to support one or more containers,   the supporting frame includes protrusion parts extended from both sides thereof, and   the protrusion parts of the one side of the supporting frame are provided with pallet-connecting members, and the protrusion parts of the other side of the supporting frame are provided with locking parts with which the pallet-connecting members are capable of being coupled respectively.   
     
     
         8 . The quay-wall system of  claim 7 , wherein two or more containers are stacked in a multiple stage manner in the supporting frame. 
     
     
         9 . A mobile harbor comprising;
 a ramp adapted to be rested on a quay-wall; and   a loading space provided on the mobile harbor to accommodate one or more pallets having one or more containers stacked therein,   wherein the loading space has guide grooves formed thereon for guiding a transporting device which is adapted to be coupled with the two or more pallets in parallel and transports the pallets from the loading space to an open-air storage yard of the quay-wall or from the open-air storage yard to the loading space.   
     
     
         10 . The mobile harbor of  claim 9 , wherein the transporting device comprises;
 a plurality of movable carts, each of which is coupled to the pallet on an upper portion thereof;   a parallel connector adapted to connect ends of each movable carts arranged in parallel to a movement direction of the movable carts; and   a transporting vehicle coupled to the parallel connector.   
     
     
         11 . The mobile harbor of  claim 10 , wherein the transporting vehicle is provided with wheels, and the guide grooves of the mobile harbor are formed to guide a portion of the wheels. 
     
     
         12 . The mobile harbor of  claim 9 , wherein the ramp is adapted to be folded and unfolded at one side surface of the mobile harbor. 
     
     
         13 . The mobile harbor of  claim 9 , wherein
 the pallet comprises a bottom plate and a supporting frame formed upward to support one or more containers,   the supporting frame includes protrusion parts extended from both sides thereof, and   the protrusion parts of the one side of the supporting frame are provided with pallet-connecting members, and the protrusion parts of the other side of the supporting frame are provided with locking parts with which the pallet-connecting members are coupled respectively.   
     
     
         14 . The mobile harbor of  claim 13 , wherein two or more containers are stacked in a multiple stage manner in the supporting frame. 
     
     
         15 . A transporting device for being coupled a plurality of pallets in parallel and transporting the pallets from an open-air storage yard provided on a quay-wall to a floating body or from the floating body to the open-air storage yard.
