When pre-advising a dual move, select both the IN move type and OUT move type in Step 1. This will connect the two moves as one visit. If the moves are created as single and should be dual the PINs will not work at the gate, but can be paired/unpaired in the edit screen before the driver arrives.

Attention Motor Carriers: Effective February 28, 2022, Seagirt Marine Terminal will implement a paperless procedure at outbound. All transactions will be handled as they are today, with the following exceptions: • The completed interchange ticket will not be printed out. It will be transmitted to the company email address(es) on file in the TOS Web Portal when the driver arrives at the outbound pedestal. • The traffic lights will be utilized at the outbound lanes. A green light means the driver is cleared to exit and the ticket has been successfully emailed. A red light means “Trouble, Do Not Proceed”. The driver should press the call button for clerk intervention. Please ensure your email address(es) and SCAC code are up to date in your TOS Web Portal account.

ERD Policy Reminder


Effective April 15, 2021: Ports America Chesapeake’s ERD will be 7 business days prior to the vessel’s estimated time of arrival (ETA), but the ERD will be set no later than 9 business days prior to the vessel’s ETA and will be locked. • Once the ERD is set by 9 business days out, it will open for receiving 7 business days out and will not be changed. We suggest that the shipping community discuss this policy with their ocean carrier partners, as they may impose more limiting ERD policies.
