Gate a container out

Run the release checks, print the gate pass, and what to do when a box is blocked.

Open Gate In / Out and choose Gate Out.

A container failing its release checks

Look it up

Enter the container number or B/L and choose Look up. Yardpro shows the box, its location, its dwell and its Release Checks.

The release checks

Check What it needs
Customs release The container’s status is Released
No holds It isn’t on customs hold
No open job No stripping or stuffing job is open on it
Delivery order seen You’ve ticked that you’ve seen a valid delivery order (laden boxes)
CFS charges The money check passes (see below)
Truck matches booking The truck is the one booked, if there’s a booking

How the money check works

  • Laden and stripped boxes must have CFS handling on an invoice.
  • Cash clients must be billed and paid in full.
  • Credit clients can leave within their terms, unless they’re on hold or the invoices on this box are overdue.

Let it out

  1. Enter the truck and driver under Truck Collecting.
  2. Tick the delivery order box if it’s shown.
  3. Choose Confirm Gate Out.
  4. Print the gate pass for the driver.

If it’s blocked

The failed check tells you what’s wrong. Fix that first: ask Finance to bill or take payment, or ask the Customs Desk about its status. See Why was this box blocked?

Trying to gate out a blocked box is written to the gate log.

Supervisor override

An Owner or Yard Supervisor can let a box out despite failed checks. Under Supervisor override, give the reason and choose Override and gate out.

Important: The reason, the person and the time stay on the record for good, and the reason prints on the gate pass. Use it only when you’d be happy to explain it later.
