New gate system to open at Wando Welch, North Charleston terminal
THE US port of Charleston is to implement an "Advanced Gate System", starting June 6 to speed up the movement of containers in the port area and improve productivity levels.
The move will also entail important operational changes for truckers and cargo owners.
Once the new system is introduced, a gate code will be required for all container and chassis moves at the Wando Welch Terminal and the North Charleston Terminal, according to the South Carolina Ports Authority.
Truckers can only obtain gate codes via the web portal GO!Port. All motor carriers doing business at SCPA container facilities must register on GO!Port to generate gate codes.
Requiring gate codes on June 6 is the first step in the programme. The full implementation of AGS will begin on Saturday, June 18, at the Wando Welch Terminal. Full implementation at North Charleston Terminal will follow at a later date, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
Benefits of AGS when fully-implemented will be faster truck turn times, more robust and more transparent information flow, improved mission flexibility, and enhanced management tools to create, add, and delete users and their privileges.
Port authorities warn that delays in truck processing are expected in the roll-out period, especially on and around Monday, June 6 and Monday, June 20
