Verified gross mass

In order to improve maritime safety conditions at sea and on shore, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopted mandatory amendments to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SALOAS). These amendments, which will become effective on 1 July 2016, have the purpose to obtain an accurate gross weight of a packed container prior to loading aboard the ship.

The IMO has issued Guidelines which were intended to established a common approach for the implementation and enforcement of the SOLAS requirements regarding the verification of the verified gross mass (VGM) of packed containers. The purpose of this document is to provide guidance on complying with the rules and implementation of the SOLAS container weight verification requirements.
