Calculating VGM Method 1: Weigh the container after the cargo has been packed using a special purpose calibrated scale such as BISON Jacks and weighbridges, or weigh the total, with the prime mover and trailer. This method is a good choice to use IF you know the weight of the prime mover and trailer.
The Verified Gross Mass (VGM) is the weight of the cargo including dunnage and bracing plus the tare weight of the container carrying this cargo. SOLAS requires the shipper to provide VGM in a shipping document, either as part of the shipping instruction or in a separate communication, before vessel loading.
The first method for measuring VGM involves weighing the packed and sealed container with your cargo inside, using a calibrated and certified weighing bridge. These weighing stations can be located at port terminals or outside ports.
Verified Gross Mass (VGM) is a critical component of shipping operations, ensuring the safety and efficiency of maritime logistics. By accurately declaring the weight of containers, shippers not only comply with international regulations, but also contribute to safer and more reliable shipping practices.
Depending on the country, shippers can weigh their containers and secure the VGM using their own weighbridge, port weighbridge, 3rd party weighbridge, etc. Main criteria is that the VGM certificate should be issued by a weighbridge accredited by the Maritime Authority of that country.
