From 01 July 2016 the SOLAS VGM regulation will come into effect requiring the weight of a container to be verified before shipment.
While there has been some discussion about how strictly the regulation will be enforced there has also been some misunderstanding that the regulation has been delayed by three months, but this is not the case. The regulation will take effect from this date, and it is a requirement to obtain a VGM for a packed container.
At Jade Logistics we are well prepared. Our terminal operating system (TOS), Master Terminal, can record a container’s VGM using in-machine technology or weighbridges.
If you would like to find out more about Jade’s approach to VGM, read the Master Terminal container weighing fact sheet or our article Worth the weight?
