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 Safety of Lives at Sea (SOLAS) regulations, all marine terminals are now allowed to use their certified scales to record shipment VGM in case of any doubt regarding customer submissions.

Pesage de conteneurs (VGM)
Tous les bureaux locaux de MSC fournissent des balances certifiées pour enregistrer et vérifier le poids du conteneur (masse brute vérifiée ou VGM) conformément à la réglementation SOLAS (Safety of Lives at Sea). Les instructions VGM sont obligatoires pour toutes les expéditions pour des raisons de sécurité et les exploitants de navires ne peuvent charger un conteneur que si son poids a été vérifié de manière appropriée.
