Did your agent know :
The SOLAS Container Weight Verification Requirement
YBS Cargo wishes to inform our customers
that the container weight verification global requirement as outlined by the
Safety of Life at Sea Convention (SOLAS) will begin being enforced on July 1,
2016. As shippers, you will be responsible for the verification of the packed
container’s weight and run the risk of missing an intended sailing if Verified
Gross Mass (VGM) documentation compliance is ignored. Our teams
globally are closely cooperating with partner carriers and e-commerce hubs in
order to have standards and processes in place.
