Hapag-Lloyd informs about the FAQ provided by the World Shipping Council.
Further to our CustomerInfo from November 17, 2015 we would like to provide you the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Container Weight published by the World Shipping Council.
As from July 1, 2016 the International Maritime Organization (IMO) amendments to the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Convention requires the shipper of a packed container to provide the container`s verified gross mass (VGM) prior to stowage aboard ship.
To learn more about the regulation and requirements, please take a look at our new flyer “Every Ton Counts” which provides detailed information on the implications of the new SOLAS rule.
