What is VGM?
Verified Gross Mass or VGM refers to the exact, verified weight of a packed container. For safety reasons, vessel operators can only load a container if its weight has been verified.
In line with SOLAS (Safety of Lives at Sea) regulations, all marine terminals in the USA are now allowed to use their certified scales to record Verified Gross Mass (VGM) of shipments.
What do I need to include in my VGM instructions?
You must include the following on all VGM instructions:
Booking or Bill of Lading (BL) number
Container number
VGM + weight measurement unit (kgs.)
Responsible Party Name (Shipper / Freight Forwarder / Consolidator)
How can I submit my VGM instructions?
Guidelines for submitting your VGM instructions
MSC prefers to receive a Shipper-Verified Gross Mass (VGM) immediately after stuffing. This helps to avoid any unexpected weighing charges being levied against the cargo at the Bangladesh Port of Loading, which will be billed to the Shipper of Record.
All terminals in Bangladesh follow “NO VGM – NO LOAD” policy.
All rail shipments must have the VGM submitted within 24 hours of the container loading onto the feeder vessel.
MSC admin fees and costs
Late VGM Submission Fee: BDT 5000 per container.
VGM Misdeclaration Fee: Container will be held / offloaded at any port of operations during shipping. Respective port penalty clause will be applicable.
