Vado Ligure, 3rd May 2016 Customer Advisory Implemetation of
Vado Ligure, 3rd May 2016
Customer Advisory
Implemetation of VGM rules in Reefer Terminal Vado Ligure from 1st
July
Dear Customer,
At Reefer Terminal we know that safety is crucial in our industry and we
support initiatives that drive safety inland and at sea.
As you know, from July 1st, global containerized maritime commerce will need
to comply with new IMO international regulations that require every packed
container to have a verified container weight as a condition for vessel loading.
Main Principles

The purpose of the SOLAS amendments is to obtain an accurate gross
weight of packed containers that are moved through the supply chain
prior to loading aboard the ship.

The responsibility for obtaining and documenting the verified gross
weight of a packed container lies with the shipper.

Verified container weights are to be used by the terminal operator and
the vessel operator in ship stowage planning.

Availability to both the Terminal representative and to the Master or his
representative of the verified gross mass (VGM) of a packed container
sufficiently in advance to be used in the ship stowage plan is a
prerequisite for the container to be loaded onto a ship to which the
SOLAS regulations apply
To assist our Customers in preparing and meeting the new VGM rules, we
would like to share with you Reefer Terminal policy on the matter.

As of the 25th of June, all standard full containers arriving at Reefer
Terminal gate without prior information about VGM will not be allowed in
the Terminal
