Welcome to NC Ports Customer Access Portal (CAP) for your visibility into NC Ports Container Operation!

Our goal is to continue to deliver the best possible service and the fastest turn-times on the East Coast. The trucking community is valued partner and we want to ensure this transition is as seamless as possible.

If you haven’t had a chance, please review our short instructional video detailing the process changes for entering/exiting the new Southgate. As a review, there are 4 major changes in the process for accessing the terminal:

All drivers need to purchase an RFID tag prior to accessing the new south gate. These tags can be purchased and registered on the CAP. Instructional videos are available on the dashboard.
All hazard boxes MUST have a pre-advice created and documents uploaded in the CAP prior to arrival at the Southgate.
All trucks must pass through the outbound OCR portal and out-gate lanes. Drivers will no longer be allowed to use the bypass outbound lane for any reason.
Dual moves for transactions with different chassis owners are no longer permissible.
