eGate at Fergusson Terminal

We would like to thank all transport companies who have partnered with us and worked hard to adopt eGate, supporting a smoother and more efficient gate experience for everyone. eGate became mandatory across all Fergusson gates on Thursday 14 May.  For those still being processed manually, we ask that you please ensure your teams are fully onboarded and operational with eGate to avoid any access delays or disruption.
