How to Use In-Gate Pass

In-Gate Pass lets you pull up a dated snapshot of a terminal's own schedule page for any date - proof of exactly what the terminal published, so you can settle a dispute or confirm a cut-off with confidence.

What In-Gate Pass is

Terminal schedule pages change constantly, and once a date moves there is usually no record of what it said before. In-Gate Pass keeps a dated snapshot of the terminal's own schedule page, so you can look up what the terminal was showing on a specific date - a receipt you can point to when a receiving date or cut-off is questioned.

A dated snapshot of a terminal's published vessel schedule - service, vessel, ETA, ETD, local first receiving, and cut-off for a chosen date

Who it is for

  • Exporters - confirm what a terminal published for a receiving date or cut-off before you committed cargo, and resolve a "the date changed" dispute with a dated record.
  • Drayage teams - verify the gate and cut-off information a terminal was showing for the day you planned a move.

How to use it

  1. Open In-Gate Pass.
  2. Choose the terminal you need.
  3. Pick the date you want to see.
  4. Open the snapshot for that terminal and date to see exactly what the terminal's schedule page showed then.

What a snapshot shows

Each snapshot is a captured view of the terminal's own schedule page as it appeared on that date - the vessels, receiving dates, and cut-offs the terminal was publishing at that moment. It is a point-in-time record, not a live feed.
