 Port of Auckland (POAL) has rolled out eGate, an app within the Cargowise (Containerchain) vehicle booking system that allows drivers to use an app on their phones which tracks their arrival through pre-defined geo-fences. 

On Wednesday 1 October 2025, eGate went live across all Fergusson Main Gates for all carriers. 

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. 

Onboarding sessions & resources 
We’re currently hosting onboarding sessions and can also visit your office to onboard your teams:  to arrange a session, please contact Natasha Kirkham email [email protected] or Jalen Lefaoseu email [email protected]. 

All resources including an onboarding video tutorial and dispatch and driver user guides can be found here

Information for drivers:  
Download the eGate app by searching ‘Driver Mobility’ in Google Play or the App Store. If you need help registering, contact the Drivers Assist on 0800 767 800.

Important notes: 

  • Drivers must be registered in Cargowise to use eGate at POAL. We are using POAL security access cards for gate entry. Access credentials for other ports (e.g. Metroport) will not work at POAL.
  • Drivers receiving a RED lane notification must park in the truck park and call Drivers Assist.
