5 Methods for obtaining the verified gross mass of a packed container
5.1 The SOLAS regulations prescribe two methods by which the shipper may obtain the verified
gross mass of a packed container:
5.1.1 Method No.1: Upon the conclusion of packing and sealing a container, the shipper may
weigh, or have arranged that a third party weighs, the packed container.

5.1.2 Method No.2: The shipper (or, by arrangement of the shipper, a third party), may weigh all
packages and cargo items, including the mass of pallets, dunnage and other packing and
securing material to be packed in the container, and add the tare mass of the container to the
sum of the single masses using a certified method as described in paragraphs 5.1.2.3 and
5.1.2.3.1. Any third party that has performed some or all of the packing of the container should
inform the shipper of the mass of the cargo items and packing and securing material that the
party has packed into the container in order to facilitate the shipper's verification of the gross
mass of the packed container under Method No.2. As required by SOLAS VI/2 and paragraph 5,
the shipper should ensure that the verified gross mass of the container is provided sufficiently in
advance of vessel loading. How such information is to be communicated between the shipper
and any third party should be agreed between the commercial parties involved.

IMO requirement for container weight verification
The IMO's Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) at its 93rd session (May 2014) approved
changes to the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) convention regarding a mandatory
container weight verification requirement on shippers. This is an effort World Shipping
Council WSC has been advocating for many years. Dangerous Goods, Solid Cargo and
Containers (DSC) Sub-committee approved changes to the Safety of Life at Sea
(SOLAS) convention that will require verification of container weights before loaded
containers may be placed aboard ships. The DSC report was approved by the Maritime
Safety Committee (MSC) in May 2014 and adopted by MSC in November 2014. The
requirement making container weight verification a condition for vessel loading will
become legally binding on July 1, 2016.
The full text of the applicable SOLAS regulations can be found here and the
Implementing Guidelines issued by MSC are available here.
See also a concise summary of these requirements produced by WSC.
Below is a summary of the past developments at the International Maritime Organization
(IMO) to address the documented safety issues and other problems that mis-declared
cargo weights cause. A more detailed outline of this activity is available in "History of
IMO Action to Improve Container Safety" produced by the World Shipping Council.

Q: Clearly responsibilities start with the shipper. But who is 'the shipper' in the context of
this new procedure?
A: This is an International issue. There are also Commercial implications.
Under the SOLAS requirements, the shipper named on the ocean bill of lading is the party
responsible for providing the maritime (ocean) carrier ('master') and the terminal operator ('terminal
representative') with the Verified Gross Mass (VGM) of a packed container. The carrier and the
terminal operator must not load a packed container aboard a ship unless they have the verified
gross mass for that container.
MSC 1/ Circ. 1475 defines 'the shipper' as "a legal entity or person named on the bill of lading or
sea waybill or equivalent multimodal transport document as shipper, and/or who (or in whose name
or on whose behalf) a contract of carriage has been concluded with a shipping company."
Due to the complexity of the international supply chain, the entity identified as the 'shipper' on the
bill of lading may not have direct or physical control over key elements of the process by which
verified gross mass is determined. A 'shipper' in such circumstances should be aware of their
responsibilities and ensure that arrangements are in place to obtain and provide a verified gross
mass in compliance with these international and national regulations.
It should be noted that the SOLAS requirements are distinct from INCOTERMS, which govern the
sale of the goods, not the transport of the goods. The parties to the sales contract/contract of sale
under INCOTERMS need to determine how verified gross mass will be obtained, i.e. whether by
Method 1 or Method 2 (as permitted by the CA of the State in which the packing of the container is
completed) and how this information can be provided to the carrier by the shipper as identified in
the bill of lading.
If in doubt about which entity is 'the shipper', contact one of the organisations identified at the end
of this document.

Q: Is there an agreed format to communicate verified gross mass?
A: As an International issue, SOLAS does not mandate any particular form of
communication between the parties exchanging the verified gross mass information.
Subject to any additional national requirements, the information to be provided by the
shipper is the same under Method 1 and Method 2, being the verified gross mass of the
packed container, conspicuously identified as such, signed and dated by the shipper or a
person duly authorised by the shipper.
The information and signature may be transmitted electronically, and the signature may
consist of the last name of the responsible person in capital letters.
Several existing EDI messages have been amended by SMDG (Ship-planning Message
Design Group) and a new EDI message ‘VERMAS’ specifically in relation to verified
gross mass has been developed. Further information is available from SMDG
(http://www.smdg.org).
As a Commercial issue, the form of exchange and precise substance should be agreed
between the commercial parties.

Q: Is there a deadline for when the information must be received by the carrier
and the terminal operator?
A:This is a Commercial issue.
Verified gross mass is required in order to prepare the stowage plan of the ship prior to
loading. Deadlines will differ according to a number of factors; shippers should obtain
information on documentary cut-off times from their carriers in advance of shipment.
It is recognized that ‘just in time’ shipments will need specific coordination between the
shipper and carrier to ensure that the objectives of SOLAS are met and the verified
gross mass for such shipments is communicated and used in the ship stowage plan.

Q: If the shipper communicates the verified gross mass as required by this
regulation, is there then an obligation under either Method 1 or Method 2 on the
carrier (or terminal operator) to check the value given for that gross mass and
report to the authorities any discrepancy that may be found?
A: As an International issue, the requirements are for the carrier and the terminal to
ensure that the verified gross mass has as a condition for ship loading been
communicated sufficiently in time to be used in the ship stow planning process. There is
no legal obligation to check the value so communicated. There is no requirement for the
verified gross mass to be notified to governmental authorities.
As a Commercial issue, the objective of the SOLAS amendments is to ensure that the
carrier and terminal operator have available as a condition for ship loading an accurate
gross mass of each packed container. Shippers should develop effective procedures in
conformance with the SOLAS requirements to obtain such information with that objective
in mind. There is no requirement that the carrier or terminal operator weigh a packed
container for which the shipper has already provided the verified gross mass.
If, however, the packed container is weighed, for whatever reason, and the gross mass
is different from that provided by the shipper by an amount deemed to be material, then
the carrier and terminal operator will need to have a process for determining which value
to use.

Q: Is the terminal operator required to obtain the VGM directly from the shipper, or
can the carrier transmit the VGM to the terminal operator after the carrier receives
it from the shipper?
A: The terminal operator is not required to receive the VGM directly from the shipper. The
IMO guidelines make clear that the requirement is that both the carrier and the terminal
operator use the VGM in preparing the stow plan, but how the information flows and is shared
among the parties is left to the operational and commercial discretion of the parties in order to
allow for the most efficient processes to be used. The relevant IMO Guidelines read as
follows:
6.3.1
Because the contract of carriage is between the shipper and the shipping company, not
between the shipper and the port terminal facility, the shipper may meet its obligation under
the SOLAS regulations by submitting the verified gross mass to the shipping company. It is
then the responsibility of the shipping company to provide information regarding the verified
gross mass of the packed container to the terminal representative in advance of ship loading.
Similarly, the shipper may also submit the verified gross mass to the port terminal facility
representative upon delivery of the container to the port facility in advance of loading.
6.3.1.1
The master or his representative and the terminal representative should enter into
arrangements to ensure the prompt sharing of verified container gross mass information
provided by shippers. Existing communication systems may be used for the transmission and
sharing of such verified container gross mass information.
6.3.1.2
At the time a packed container is delivered to a port terminal facility, the terminal
representative should have been informed by the shipping company whether the shipper has
provided the verified gross mass of the packed container and what that gross mass is.

Q: If goods are put onto a feeder ship from, for example, Port Said (EG) that
proceeds to Jeddah (Kingdom Saudi Arabia), will verified gross mass have to be
established in Port Said or Jeddah or both places?
A: This is an International issue.
Verified gross mass is required before loading the packed container on board a ship
covered by the SOLAS requirements at its initial port of loading, unless driven onto a ro-
ro ship on a chassis or trailer. Thus, in this question, the verified gross mass must be
determined prior to loading aboard ship at Port Said.

Q: The requirement is for accurate gross mass; is there a margin of error defined for this
'accuracy'?
A: As an International issue, the SOLAS regulations provide that verified gross mass shall be
obtained under both Method 1 and 2 by using weighing equipment that meets the applicable
accuracy standards and requirements in the State in which the equipment is being used. Those
national standards and requirements will determine the acceptable level of accuracy of the
weighing equipment used. There is no provision in SOLAS for any margin of error; this is a physical
weighing requirement, not a system of estimation. Gross mass derived using compliant equipment
and procedures will meet the legal requirements.
There is no single international weighing equipment accuracy standard at present although the
International Organization of Legal Metrology has issued recommendations for various types of
weighing equipment. For example, EU Directive 2004/22/EC on measuring instruments provides
guidance within the European Union in relation to ‘automatic weighing instruments’. Similar
guidance exists for ‘non-automatic weighing instruments’ and many countries and regions will have
enacted legislation and standards to cover such equipment.
Accuracy refers to the precision with which a measurement (in this case mass) is made. Accuracy
is the only concept with which the shipper need be concerned. National enforcement agents may
exercise discretion or tolerance in deciding when to initiate further investigations or penalty action.
However, shippers using compliant weighing devices and processes will obtain values that are well
within any tolerances adopted nationally for enforcement purposes. Shippers not using compliant
weighing devices and processes may be found in violation even if the gross masses that they
provide fall within government enforcement tolerances.
If a shipper is merely estimating the gross mass and hoping to fall within government enforcement
tolerances, it is violating the SOLAS requirements and could incur sanctions or delays pursuant to
applicable national legislation. There are no exemptions from the requirement to weigh using either
Method 1 or Method 2.

Q: Given that there is no single international approval for weighing equipment,
does this mean that different standards will be applied around the world, making it
uncertain whether equipment can be approved internationally or whether values
given will be accepted globally?
A: This is a National issue.
Within the scope of SOLAS, this is a matter for determination by signatory States. It is
the case, however, that all equipment used (whether for Method 1 or Method 2) will need
to meet the applicable accuracy standards and requirements of the State in which the
equipment is being used.

Q: How accurate does the verified gross mass need to be considering
environmental factors of influence such as humidity on wood (pallets), carton (if
used as primary packaging), etc.?
Any verified gross mass obtained under both Method 1 and 2 shall be obtained using
weighing equipment that meets the applicable accuracy standards and requirements of
the State in which the equipment is used.
Some cargo products may incur normal, minor changes in mass from the time of
packing and weighing until delivery (e.g. due to evaporation or humidity changes) and
some containers’ tare mass may change over time and vary somewhat from the tare
mass marked on the container. However, these margins of error should not normally
present safety concerns.

Q: Will governments apply an enforcement tolerance threshold for determining
compliance with the SOLAS requirements?
However, a government’s enforcement threshold should not be confused with the issue
of how accurate the verified gross mass obtained by the shipper should be. The shipper
is obligated to use weighing equipment that complies with the accuracy standards of the
jurisdiction in which the equipment is used. Use of such equipment should produce a
verified gross mass that is well within government enforcement tolerances. Enforcement
tolerances are simply a means by which a government decides how best to allocate its
enforcement resources; as such, they have no effect on how the shipper goes about
determining the verified gross mass.
The SOLAS Method 1 and Method 2 regulations (and any additional national
regulations) control the procedures by which the gross mass is to be determined.

Q: How will this be enforced and what will be the level of penalties imposed by an
Administration if a container is delivered by a shipper to a carrier with a mis-
declared gross mass or if a shipper does not provide the verified gross mass for a
packed container?
A: As a National issue, fines and other penalties will be imposed under national
legislation. Enforcement agencies may implement measures to satisfy themselves that
compliance is achieved, which might be expected to include documentation checks,
auditing or random weighing.
As a Commercial issue, the penalties may involve repacking costs, administration fees
for amending documents, demurrage charges, delayed or cancelled shipments etc. It
should be noted that SOLAS imposes an obligation on the carrier and the terminal
operator not to load a packed container aboard ship for which no verified gross mass
has been provided or obtained. Compliance with this obligation by the carrier and
terminal operator may result in commercial and operational penalties, such as delayed
shipment and additional costs if the shipper has not provided the verified gross mass for
the packed container.
[Note: The new SOLAS requirements apply equally to both under and overweight
containers].

Q: The SOLAS requirement derives from safety aspects. Cargo mass information
may also be required for Customs purposes. If the verified gross mass declared
for SOLAS purposes subsequently is amended, for example after actual weighing
of the packed container, does Customs need to be informed?
SOLAS does not regulate Customs matters. Provision of the gross and net mass of
goods in declarations to Customs is regulated according to national Customs legislation.
The mass required under SOLAS versus Customs requirements may be different; e.g,
Customs may require cargo mass, while SOLAS requires the total, verified gross mass
of the packed container.

Q: Should a ‘pilot’ scheme be set up by a carrier, shippers, port and competent

A: This is a National and/or Commercial issue.
It is recognized that there may be valuable lessons from such an effort, but it is a matter
to be discussed among the affected parties.

Q: Simply knowing the verified gross mass is not sufficient to achieve safety
through the supply chain, since many incidents on the road and rail are caused by
improper load distribution and inadequate securing. What can be done about
that?
It is correct that improper load distribution and inadequate securing in packed containers
may result in incidents even where the gross mass has been correctly obtained and
declared. The IMO, ILO and UNECE collaborated to produce the ‘Code of Practice for
Packing Cargo Transport Units’ (CTU Code) to address such concerns. This non-
mandatory international code provides recommended and actionable guidance for the
proper packing, securing and handling of cargo into or onto CTUs. The Code, which
applies to surface transport operations throughout the intermodal supply chain, is
available to download in various languages through the searchable website at:

Q: Where can we find a list of publically available weighbridges?
It should be noted that procedures need to be in place to obtain the verified gross mass
of each packed container, taking accurate account of any other mass, such as truck,
trailer, fuel or equipment etc. Additionally, note that where applicable the International
Vehicle Weight Certificates (IVWC) shows the total gross weight of the un-laden vehicle,
not the gross mass of the packed container.

Q: Some weighbridges don’t produce tickets. Would a gross mass being written
on driver’s consignment note, signed and stamped by the load point be
acceptable?
A: As an International issue, there is no requirement under SOLAS that a ‘weight ticket’
or similar must be provided. What SOLAS requires is that the shipper communicates the
verified gross mass in a ‘shipping document’ that can be part of the shipping instructions
or be a separate communication. In either case, the document should clearly highlight
that the gross mass provided is the ‘verified gross mass’, and the document must be
signed by a person duly authorized by the shipper (the signature may be an electronic
signature or may be replaced by the name in capitals of the person authorized to sign it).
As a National issue, national governments may, as part of their enforcement policies,
require that shippers using Method 1 are in a position, upon request, to produce weight
tickets or other documentation as deemed acceptable pursuant to national rules and
regulations.
As a commercial issue, it should be recognized that the shipper remains responsible to
obtain and communicate the verified gross mass. There are inevitable process
challenges to ensure effective coordination between the shipper and haulier to achieve
effective documentary hand-off (whether electronic or paper) to avoid in-gate delays.
Such processes should be discussed between the commercial parties, including the
maritime carrier and the terminal operator.

Q: Where a third party (including potentially a port terminal) starts weighing
freight containers (i.e. under Method 1) will it have to become a ‘verified weigher’
in order to issue a valid weight ticket?
A: As an International issue, there is no such concept as a ‘verified weigher’ and the only
obligation under SOLAS for a party weighing a packed container is to use calibrated and
certified equipment that meets the accuracy standards and requirements of the state in
which the equipment is being used. SOLAS does not make any additional requirements
of the party weighing a packed container.
As a National issue, National governments may, as part of their enforcement policies,
implement requirements applicable to owners of weighing equipment. It should be noted
that SOLAS itself does not require any assessment or registration of a service provider
and any such requirements would be determined by national authorities.

Q: Port container handling equipment generally has on-board weighing
technology Programmable Logic Controller (‘PLCs’) typically accurate to within
5% and designed to prevent overloading of the equipment. If such data are
integrated into other relevant systems (including those used for ship stowage
planning) is this likely to be acceptable for determining verified gross mass under
Method 1?
A: As an International issue, SOLAS only requires that the weighing equipment used to
obtain the verified gross mass meets the applicable accuracy standards and
requirements of the State in which the equipment is being used.
As a National issue, although accuracy of weighing equipment is a matter for national
regulation, it is unlikely that a weighing device with a known margin of error of 5% would
meet applicable accuracy standards.

Q: Who will pay for carrying out the weighing process for Method 1?
A: This is a Commercial issue and will be a matter to be determined by the parties
involved. Since the shipper is legally responsible to obtain and provide the verified gross
mass, it may be expected that any third party service provider would seek re-
imbursement of the cost of weighing.

Q: Our company only ever provides part loads/less than container load (LCL),
never a full container load (FCL) so what is our position?
A: This is a Commercial issue
This will depend on your contractual arrangement with the co-loading freight forwarder
that enters into the contract of carriage with the carrier and thus becomes the shipper to
the carrier (see A1 above). If permitted under the terms of the contract with the ‘master’
forwarder, your company may use Method 2 to verify the actual mass of the goods being
shipped and pass that information on to the party completing the packing of the
container. However, responsibility for providing the accurate, verified gross mass of a
co-loaded container remains with the shipper named on the maritime carrier’s bill of
lading, i.e. the ‘master’ freight forwarder.

Q: Can I deliver freight to my freight forwarder without knowing the mass and ask
them to weigh it and establish the verified gross mass of the cargo and issue the
appropriate documents?
A: This is a Commercial issue.
See the response to questions in C1 above. The ‘shipper’ under the contract of carriage
remains responsible for accurately establishing verified gross mass of a packed
container.
If your freight forwarder is the shipper on the maritime carrier’s bill of lading, it may
weigh the cargo, using Method 1 or 2, and provide the carrier with the verified gross
mass of the container. If you are the shipper on the bill of lading, you are responsible for
providing the carrier with the verified gross mass. Where the verified gross mass is
obtained by a third party, such as a freight forwarder, the shipper will remain responsible
that the verified gross mass provided to the carrier is correct. Parties in the maritime
containerised supply chain are encouraged to ensure that their contractual
arrangements take account of the SOLAS requirements.

Q: Is it permissible for a company to provide a service to weigh cargo under
Method 2 and issue a ‘Verified Gross Mass’ certificate to a shipper? If so what
criteria will they have to meet?
A: This is an International and National issue:
As an international issue, nothing in SOLAS would prevent a company from offering
such a service as long as the company uses weighing equipment that meets the
applicable accuracy standards and requirements of the State in which the equipment is
used. However, a shipper using the mass obtained from a company providing such
weighing services remains under SOLAS responsible to ensure that the verified gross
mass provided to the carrier and the terminal operator is accurate.
As a national issue, provision of services to weigh cargo using Method 2 may be subject
to national rules and regulations.

Q: If Method 2 is chosen and intercompany transactions take place (e.g. the
producing / dispatching entity is based in UK while bill of lading is drawn up for
export at a consolidation port such as Antwerp (Belgium) and a different legal
entity within a group of companies is the exporter of record) which legal entity
should comply with any national rules and regulations regarding Method 2, the
exporter of record or local UK entity actually packing the container and physically
able to determine the relevant mass information?
The entity that would need to comply with any national rules and regulations regarding
Method 2 is the one in the State in which the packing and sealing of the container is
completed.

Q: For FCL shipments involving a freight forwarder there are two different scenarios:
a. where the forwarder is agent (putting the carrier and shipper in a direct contractual
arrangement);
and
b. where the freight forwarder acts as principal and issues a house bill of lading, being
named as the 'shipper' on the maritime carrier's bill of lading/contract of carriage
In either scenario, can the freight forwarder rely on the mass provided by the
forwarder's customer using Method 2?
A: This is an International and a National issue.
Internationally, for the purpose of the SOLAS requirements, the ‘shipper’ is the entity
named on the maritime carrier’s bill of lading/contract of carriage. It is the shipper who is
responsible for obtaining the verified gross mass of the packed container and for
providing it to the maritime carrier and terminal operator; the preparation of any
documentation needs to be determined between the commercial parties involved
The SOLAS requirements do not include registration or approval in order to use Method
2, but this may be part of national implementation measures to achieve compliance. It
must be stressed that the absence of specific national rules for registration and approval
for use of Method 2 does not mean that shippers may not use Method 2 to determine the
verified gross mass and provide it to the carrier and the terminal operator. However,
mass should be obtained using calibrated and certified weighing equipment that
complies with the accuracy standards of the jurisdiction in which the equipment is used.

As a National issue:
In jurisdictions that do not implement Method 2 registration and certification
requirements, where a freight forwarder enters into contracts of carriage with maritime
carriers (i.e. acts as a principal), it is the freight forwarder who is named as the shipper
on the maritime carrier’s bill of lading and as such is legally responsible under SOLAS
for obtaining and providing the verified gross mass. If such a freight forwarder, named as
shipper on the bill of lading, seeks to rely on another party (such as a customer) to
provide that verified gross mass information, it is the forwarder’s responsibility to be
satisfied that the other party accurately determines the verified gross mass that is then
provided to the carrier. If the forwarder is acting as an agent, it will not be named as
shipper on the bill of lading. Consequently, it will not be responsible for obtaining and
providing the verified gross mass; the shipper named on the bill of lading will.
In jurisdictions that do implement Method 2 registration and approval requirements, the
basic SOLAS requirements still apply, i.e. if the forwarder is named as the shipper on the
bill of lading, that forwarder is legally responsible for obtaining and providing the verified
gross mass. Whether such a forwarder would be able to rely on the verified gross mass
obtained by another party may depend on the specific national rules pertaining to
Method 2. If the forwarder is acting as an agent, it will not be named as shipper on the
bill of lading. Consequently, it will not be responsible for obtaining and providing the
verified gross mass; the shipper named on the bill of lading will. 71
