Built for the people who move containers
Once a container passes the gate, most companies go blind. QuayLink is the live screen your operations team has been improvising with phone calls and portal logins.
Transport Companies
Drivers arrive at gates blind. Every pre-advise is a manual portal grind.
Live gate-in/gate-out for every move, and automatic pre-advise on every one — no portal grind.
Freight Forwarders & Brokers
Clerks live in per-terminal portals. Clients phone for status all day.
Every container, every terminal, one screen — gate moves, customs holds, stack dates. Answer any client in five seconds.
Exporters & Importers
You know what your forwarder tells you, when they tell you. A missed reefer cutoff spoils the load.
Your own live view of the terminal, with an alert the moment a stack date changes or customs releases your box.
Everything that happens to your container, in one place
Live data from every South African terminal — Durban, Cape Town, Ngqura, Gqeberha, East London and more.
Gate-In / Gate-Out
Know the moment a container enters or leaves any terminal — including the truck that carried it. Refreshed every 5 minutes.
Customs Holds & Releases
See holds the moment they're placed and get alerted the moment they're released. No more discovering a stop at the gate.
Container Watchlist
Add your container numbers once. Track each one from pre-advise to vessel departure — unlimited checking, no per-lookup charges.
Stack Dates & Cutoffs
Every cutoff — dry, reefer, hazardous — for every vessel at every terminal, always current. Alerts when a cutoff moves.
Automatic Pre-Advise
Submitted in about 15 seconds, 24/7 — instead of 12 minutes by hand. Rejections refunded.
Team Alerts
Email and instant notifications to the right people: gate moves, customs changes, vessel arrivals, cutoff changes.
