The top priority in our industry is the safety of the people. In everyday shipment handling, risk of accidents arises when the weight of containers is not measured accurately. The SOLAS weight initiative aims to reduce the chance of accidents by imposing an accurate and verified weight policy to help sustain a safe and secured working environment
As of 1st of July 2016, an amendment to SOLAS implies that shippers are required to provide the Verified Gross Mass (VGM) to the carrier as a condition for loading onto a ship for export. This practical guide illustrates the procedure.
