Effective July 1, 2016, containers departing from any foreign port in the world must, by global law, list the Verified Gross Mass or “VGM” of the container as declared by the shipper. The SOLAS amendment is an important step towards a safer maritime industry, and is a result of a long history of under declared weights – the results of which can be seen below This will surely have a huge impact on the industry, but – studies have shown that very few parties are prepared for the implementation. While an abundance of resources are available for SOLAS, but unfortunately – very few hard facts yet. Below is information & resources we found most helpful and information we are working on ourselves. We will continue to add information as the industry prepares and announces information: Resources: IMO: Memo MSC.1Circ.1548 (clarification on Tranship Policy for in-transit cargo after July 1) APL: SOLAS – APL handbook GLOBAL Flyer: SOLAS Flyer JOC Guide for Shipper: JOC-Guide-for-shippers Joint Sponsored FAQ: SOLAS FAQ TT Club SOLAS FAQ (Chinese): SOLAS_VGM_FAQs_Chinese_WEB MSC’s country guide: VGM Information by Country NCBFAA: Public SOLAS Resource Page OCEMA Process Map: Solas – OCEMA.VGM.Process.Map World Shipping Council: IMO Requirement for Container Weight Verification Regional Implementation Guidelines: Middle East, Asia and Australia | Europe and Africa | Americas Articles: Material Handling & Logistics: Mh&L provides answers to some Frequently Asked Questions American Shipper: http://OCEMA addresses shipper liability Holland & Knight: https://www.hklaw.com/publications/us-coast-guard-comments-on-solas-verified-gross-mass-rule-implementation-02-19-2016/ JOC: India increases tolerance levels.

The Journal of Commerce (www.joc.com) is an excellent source of information and we highly recommend a subscription to the JOC to stay on top of developments. Using JOC or other sources is critical to understand how each country is dealing with SOLAS and to ensure you understand those jurisdictions applicable to your supply chain so as to avoid disruption in the flow of goods or increased costs in the way of penalties Reminder – enforcement begins on July 1, 2016 and is in force in all ports worldwide. IMO’s IMO Memo MSC.1Circ.1548 clarifies that cargo already in-transit as of July 1 will not be subject to SOLAS enforcement at transship ports.
