SOLAS VGM information

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 Cyprus 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 (lbs. or kgs.)  
- Responsible Party Name

How can I submit my VGM instructions?

- Manually (via INTTRA)  
- Email:  cy386-expdoc.lms@msc.com (note: the email will only be monitored for VGM declarations) 

 Guidelines for submitting your VGM instructions 
- MSC prefers to receive a Shipper-Verified Gross Mass (VGM) before cargo is delivered. This helps to avoid any unexpected weighing charges being levied against the cargo at the Limassol Port of Loading, which will be billed to the Shipper of Record. 
- Any Shipper of Record-signed VGM will override any VGM derived at or by the terminal. 
- For truck delivery VGM needed prior container gate in to terminal.  
-Cut of 24 hour prior arrival. 


MSC admin fees and costs  
- Manual VGM Submission Fee (applies to email and inclusion on standard shipping instructions): 35 Euro per container.
