With the successful opening of the new Southgate Container Complex, we are returning to the Southgate being in operation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for access to the Port (holidays are subject to change).

Effective at 6:00 a.m. on Monday, March 28th, the Northgate will return to the hours of 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday-Friday.

All trucks utilizing the Southgate should use the right two security lanes. The left lane is reserved for all non-truck traffic.

Once through security, all non-container traffic should use the bypass lane to the left of the blue OCR barn to access the port. All container truck traffic is required to use Lanes 1 & 2 and proceed through the blue OCR barn.

Personal vehicles (POVs) are welcome to use either gate for access to the port during the hours of 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Outside of these hours the Southgate will need to be used for access to the port.
