Port of Auckland (POAL) is rolling out eGate, an app within the Cargowise (Containerchain) vehicle booking system used by POAL and truck transport companies to book slots and manage truck movements in and out of the port.

We have successfully trialled eGate at select Fergusson gates, including the Empty Yard Gate and Fergusson Main Gate.  From Wednesday, 1 October 2025, eGate will be 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.

Online training sessions (w/c Monday 29 September)

Information for dispatchers: 
A dispatcher user guide is available here.

Please share this information with your teams. For registration help, contact Drivers Assist on 0800 767 800.

 Important notes:

  • Drivers must be registered in Cargowise for 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.
