The one good thing about Global is their new gate system. Movement through the portals is quick and efficient due to RFID tags integration in the system their is minimal human contact. After that it all falls apart. The new RMG system is slow and not programmed to work optimally. For now no empties should be going here only loads. Empty drop and delivery should all be handled by the top picks into and out of the stacks.
Why the RMG doesn't take a container back (if one is there) every time it brings one to a driver in the L lanes makes no sense.

You'll spend 1-1 1/2 he's which is really fast compared to other ports aroun here. The place became strict and now won't allow you inside without a safety vest! Also you will be voided out if you do not have an appointment! Every employee here is helpfuly, luckily. When this place does get backed up, usually on Fridays. It can become a parking lot of non moving trucks. Beautiful views from this port it's located right on the tip of Bayonne so you see the open ocean. There is a gas station right on corner and food trucks so no worries! ...
