SOLAS VGM information

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 following are included on all VGM instructions: 

  •  Booking or Bill of Lading (BL) number 
  • Container number 
  • VGM and weight measurement unit (lbs or kgs) 
  • Name of responsible party
  • Digital signature of the authorised signatory in CAPITAL LETTERS.

Exporters can sign myMSC to upload the VGM.

VGM should be provided 24 hours prior vessel arrival to avoid late fees of USD25.00.

コンテナ計量(VGM)

MSCのすべてのローカルオフィスでは、海上における人命の安全のための国際条約(SOLAS)の規制に則した手順で、認定を受けた測定器を使用してコンテナ重量(総重量確定情報またはVGM)を記録および検証します。VGMの指示は安全上の理由によりすべての貨物に必須であり、船のオペレーターはコンテナ重量が適切に検証された場合にのみ荷積みすることができます。詳しい情報やサポートに関しては最寄りのMSCチームまでお問い合わせください。
