Compliant International Shipping Including Container Weighing
Shipping International’s Commitment to Accurate Container Weighing
Shipping International, a leading provider of international shipping solutions, understands the critical importance of accurate container weighing, particularly in light of the Verified Gross Mass (vgm) regulation. We are dedicated to providing comprehensive and reliable shipping solutions that ensure compliance with this essential requirement.
Understanding the VGM Regulation
The vgm regulation, implemented by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), mandates the accurate determination of a container’s total weight, including its contents, before it can be loaded onto a vessel. This regulation aims to enhance safety and prevent overloading of ships, ultimately contributing to the overall security of maritime transport.
Failure to comply with vgm regulations can result in substantial penalties, including shipment delays, port congestion, and even the refusal of cargo at the destination port. Accurate container weighing is therefore crucial for smooth and compliant shipments.
