Dear Customers,
Effective 1st July 2016, The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has adopted new regulations under the Safety of Life at Sea Convention (SOLAS) that require shippers to verify and provide each container’s gross verified weight to the vessel master or his representative and to the terminal operator for every packed container as a condition for vessel loading.
With this upcoming regulation/requirement, PSA is currently very strict on the weight declared against the actual. We need all shippers to obtain from their actual shipper the accurate weight and advise POD for declaration/submission to the port.
Please pre-alert shipper that is their responsibilities to provide accurate information on the BOOKING CONFIRMATION, should there are penalty on the weight due to under declared by shipper, the carrier is not responsible under the new ruling.
Thank you very much for your kind co-operation in advance and your immediately taking action is very much appreciate
