The São Ricardo International Gateway (SRIG) is a port complex located in the northeastern corner of Lua. The port is located in North Lagoon approximately 22 kilometres (14 mi) northwest of downtown. A department of the State of São Ricardo, the São Ricardo International Gateway supports employment for 517,000 people throughout the Lua Region and 1.6 million worldwide. The cargo coming into the port represents approximately 20% of all cargo coming into Cartadania. For public safety, the São Ricardo International Gateway utilizes the São Ricardo Port Police for police service in the port and to its local communities, the Lua Fire Department (LFD) to provide fire and EMS services to the port and its local communities, the São Ricardo Marine Police for waterway security at the port, and Homeland Security to protect federal land at the port.

Shipping
The port's container volume was 37.1 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) in calendar year 2025. It's the most cargo moved annually by an Occidental port. The port is the busiest port in Cartadania by container volume, the 3rd-busiest container port in the world, and the busiest worldwide when combined with the neighboring Port of Aumiers. The port is also the number-one freight gateway in Cartadania when ranked by the value of shipments passing through it. It is one of four Cartadanian ports certified to handle cargo ships over 18,000 TEU (others being PCIT, CMT, and TMT).
The most-imported types of goods in the 2025 calendar year were, in order: furniture, automobile parts, apparel, electronic products, and plastics.
The port is served by the Odoneru Harbor and Lagoon Line (OHLL) railroad. From the OHLL, intermodal railroad cars go southeast to Lua.
In 2010, only one Cartadanian port, PCIT, could handle ships of the O’Shea Globalstock and the future O’Shea Triple E class size, the latter of which needs cranes reaching 23 rows. In 2015, the port and the Department of Commerce deepened the port's main navigational channel to 53 feet, which is deep enough to accommodate the draft of the world's biggest container ships.
