APM Terminals offers worldwide container weigh-ins at 29 locations
MAERSK's APM Terminals is offering verified gross mass (VGM) generation services, or container weigh-ins, to enable shippers and forwarders to comply with new IMO Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations at 29 locations worldwide.
With just 50 days until United Nations' SOLAS VGM rules come into force, APM Terminals will provide containers with the needed data to get them aboard ship.
These locations are Aarhus, Denmark; Fos, France; Pecem, Brazil; Abidjan, Ivory Coast; Gothenburg, Sweden; Petrolesport, Russia; Aqaba, Jordan; Mumbai, India; Pointe-Noire, Congo; Bahrain; Helsinki, Finland; Santos, Brazil; Bremerhaven, Germany; Itajai, Brazil; Tanjung Pelepas, Malaysia; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Izmir, Turkey; Ust-Luga, Russia ; Callao, Peru; Moby Dick, Russia; Vado, Italy; Cotonou, Benin; Pipavav, India; Vostochny, Russia; First Container Terminal, Russia; Lazaro, Mexico; Wilhelmshaven, Germany; Rades, Tunisia and Port Said, Egypt.
APM Terminals teams are in dialogue with local regulatory authorities who are providing increasing clarity on national rules governing how to ensure compliance, said the terminal operator.
APM Terminals is planning to provide VGM data management capabilities in most facilities through accepting EDI transmissions of VGM information into terminal operating systems from the shipping lines prior to vessel load planning.
Export containers which are received at APM Terminal facilities with a valid VGM will be accepted as per current local operational procedures.
Those export containers which arrive at APM Terminal facilities without a valid VGM will be generally accepted, but as they are ineligible to load on a vessel, may be segregated and subject to additional re-handling and storage requirements.
