SOLAS VGM

8

SOLAS regulations governing global ocean vessels requires Carriers to have a

Verified Gross Mass (VGM) submitted to them by shippers before a container may

be loaded onto the vessel.

Image Source: JOC article - "Shippers guide to the container weight mandate", Dec 14, 2015.


Before a packed container is loaded onto a ship, its weight must be determined

through weighing. There are two permissible methods for weighing

Method 1: Weigh the stuffed

container

Method 2: Weighing all cargo and

contents, and adding tare weight from

container door

The SOLAS Regulation at a High Level

Top 4 reasons it’s gone so smoothly

• Containers being weighed before arriving to the terminals,

attributable to Method 2

• Port systems have integrated VGM into existing business

processes; terminals become the means to send VGM to the

carriers

• Terminal charging for weighing that make it prohibitive to

have it done at gate-in.

• Extended grace periods and no auditing or enforcement of

the VGM data
