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.

The relevant authority has not issued any regulation. In case of receiving information, it will be transmitted immediately.
What to include in your VGM transmission
The following items are mandatory and must be registered for each container of every shipment:
The VGM information could be submitted by the shipper, FFWW or Port Agent.
How to submit your VGM instructions
Deadlines for sending your VGM instructions
Consider the same deadline of the stacking / Cut-off.
Administrative Fees and Costs
These fees and costs apply if any fine, local fee and/or penalties are charged to MSC. If there is any change, the booking client will be informed accordingly.
Recommendations
The VGM weight registered must be issued by a certified and calibrated balance, otherwise it will not be valid, and the unit would not be shipped.
We suggest coordinating the on-time delivery of VGM to both shipping line and terminal with your Port Agent.
All costs regarding the need to comply with SOLAS regulations are responsibility of the shipper.
