What is SOLAS VGM Verification Methods Explained about?

The document discusses new requirements under SOLAS for verifying the gross mass of packed containers before loading onto ships. There are now two approved methods for verifying gross mass: weighing the packed container using calibrated equipment, or weighing all cargo and contents and adding the tare weight of the container. The shipper is responsible for providing the verified gross mass to the ship master in advance for use in stowage planning. Containers without a verified gross mass will not be loaded.
