On the first of July, the new Solas verified gross mass (VGM) legislation for container sea freight transportation will be put into effect. This means that from that date, we will not be able to ship our tank containers on any carrier, unless we have sent a VGM to the carrier with the exact gross weight of the container. This is a worldwide reaching legislation, but the individual countries are to set up their details regarding the accepted error margin in their countries. Some countries maintain a 5% error margin on the weights, whereas others have 2% or even 0%. For Estonia, what error margin will you maintain on the verified gross mass and are there any specific details regarding VGM in your country? Looking forward to hearing from you.
