  • Container number
  • VGM + weight measurement unit (lbs. or kgs.)
  • Responsible party name Digital signature of the authorised signatory in all CAPITAL LETTERS.
How can I submit my VGM instructions?

Guidelines for submitting your VGM instructions

  • We encourage customers to submit their Verified Gross Mass (VGM) before cargo is delivered at port (48 hours before vessel arrival). This helps to avoid any unexpected weighing charges being levied against the cargo at the 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.
