it is 2100 gmt, the Shikoku gate in NT is not letting people through.
The gate to NT in shikoku is fine.
The NT side gate stays open like someone is docking (i think during npc docking which was aborted), and no traders can get back through to Shikoku.
Sorry to be a pain, thanks for your attention.
The same is up right now. Gate stays open even if there's no (NPC) ship stuck in docking process.
Already tried to move away from it back to Planet New Tokyo and re-approach it but it stays open only and you only get into docking queue. No chance to pass it.
Go into the ships view on your contact screen - are there any other ships in range of the gate? Ships don't need to be in front of the gate to be blocking off the docking sequence. They can be to the side and even behind the gate. I suspect the new heavy transports being used as house transports might be a cause of this...

NPCs in combat with each other can sometimes cause a stall since the transport will block the docking sequence while its escorts are busy fighting a pirate.
Aet, I think it's not just the heavy transports, but also the other new transports; eg. I've seen OSC Democritus convoys caught at gates a couple of times.

I went through it last night without any problem. When I got to the Galileo gate in Shikoku some npcs went dorky and wouldn't dock with the gate so I shot them with the uber turret on my Kujira until they got out of the way.
Best thing to do otherwise is probably to leave the area so the npcs despawn.
