🏗 Container Terminal Update
Most vessels due this week are arriving on time. There has been a focus on the road, with some increased capacity to help clear volume that has built over the two short weeks. 

eGate is now live at Fergusson Main Gates for all carriers
eGate went live across all Fergusson main gates in October 2025 for all carriers.  We strongly encourage all transport companies to commence using eGate now and work towards full adoption across all drivers.  eGate will become compulsory from March 2026, so ensuring all Transport companies and drivers are familiar with and actively using eGate will help guarantee a smooth transition. 

How eGate works:
eGate allows drivers to use an app on their phones which tracks their arrival through pre-defined geo-fences, providing real-time visibility to the road office. Drivers will see either green or red on their device:

 

  • GREEN: All information is correct, the driver is on time for their slot, or the terminal can accommodate the truck’s arrival. Proceed to the gate.
  • RED: There is an issue. Drivers must park in the truck park, resolve any issues, or wait for their booked time slot. 

All resources including an onboarding video tutorial, dispatch & driver user guides can be found on POAL website here

 Induction and Security Access Card requirements
All drivers accessing Port of Auckland (POAL) must now hold a valid POAL induction. Drivers without a valid induction can no longer access POAL facilities.
