Effective April 22nd 2024, MSC is collecting demurrage for their Ocean Carrier portion directly from their customers. The Terminal demurrage portion is separate and will be visible/payable on PayCargo. When line demurrage is owed, containers will have line holds present and customers will need to satisfy the charges directly with MSC. Once cleared with MSC, they will submit the line hold release via EDI. To receive future operational alerts by email or SMS please subscribe to Terminal Alerts.

South Gate Closing April 4th Until Further Notice

Please Share This Information With Your Drivers

Dear Pier 400 Customers and Trucking Community:

The purpose of this advisory is to notify our customers and trucking community that starting Monday, April 4th, 2022 our South Gate complex will be closed until further notice.    The reason for the closure is to provide safe and efficient traffic patterns while we continue to make improvements to the Pier 400 facility.

As a result of this change, our 25-lane North Gate complex will be used to process all truck activity.  To support efficient flow of trucks through our gate complex, we depend on the Trucking  Community to provide complete and accurate appointment information.  When we receive accurate data, your drivers benefit from our auto-in gate technology which provides drivers with their routing ticket upon arrival to the gate pedestal.

For your quick reference please see the information required for all transactions.
