The SOLAS VGMs regulate the internationally applicable provisions for the protection of human life at sea. They set out the maximum permissible weight of containers. Two different, but equally valid, options are provided for determining container weights.
Please submit and confirm the gross mass and make the verification of the gross mass (VGM) in accordance with the SOLAS guidelines published by the Maritime Safety Committee of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) on 9 June 2014 in MSC.1/Circ. 1475. Please make sure that you are able to provide us with evidence of the admissibility of the method used and/or the weighing equipment or certification used without delay upon request.
