We’d like to raise your awareness of the new SOLAS Verified Gross Mass (VGM) requirements which become mandatory on 1 July 2016.
Pls read the SOLAS Supplier Communication Letter(1st Accessory) carefully, thanks.
For LCL (less than container load) & Pure LCL shipment, GM Freight Forwarder will load the container and be responsible to provide VGM to ocean carriers, but each supplier must ensure the weight shown on an invoice and packing list exactly match the actual weight of the cargo. More detail rule process pls refer to your origin operation team. In case of any questions, please feel free to contact control tower.
If you will have FCL (full container load) arrangement after 1st of July, pls also refer to the 2nd Accessory and reply all the related questions by return before 06-Jun, otherwise, we will regard you as no exception. thanks for your cooperation.
