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.
