INFORMAÇÕES DOS ESCRITÓRIOS LOCAIS

VGM receiving policy

What is VGM?

Verified Gross Mass or VGM refers to the exact, verified weight of a packed container. For safety reasons, vessel operators can only load a container if its weight has been verified.

  

Government approval status

  • Norwegian Maritime Authority is the authority in charge, controlling the enforcement of the SOLAS container weighing verification in Norway

  • Tolerance of approved scales must be certified by Norwegian Metrology Service

 

What do I need to include in my VGM instructions?

You must include the following on all VGM instructions: 

  • Booking or Bill of Lading (BL) number 

  • Container number 

  • VGM + weight measurement unit (kgs.) 

  • Responsible Party Name 

  • Digital signature of the authorised signatory in all CAPITAL LETTERS.

   

How can I submit my VGM instructions?

  • MY MSC  - Free og Charge 

  • EDI (via INTTRA; GT NEXUS; Cargo Smart) Free of Charge

  • Manual via mail 10 EUR pr container

Contact our customer service team: Oslofjord: nor-export.oslofjord@msc.com, Westcoast: nor-exportwestcoast@msc.com

 

Deadlines for sending your VGM instructions

  • Please check your booking confirmation for deadlines

  • For sailings during weekends and public holidays special conditions may apply

  • Late delivery of VGM will result non-loading of the container and/or booking.

 

Admin Fees and costs

  • MSC reserves the right to announce implementation of local VGM fee for late, misdeclared or manually inserted VGM.

  • In case a container is delivered to terminal without VGM, all additional costs (storage-plugging-liftings-etc) related to obtaining VGM in due time will be on shippers account.

 

Recommendations

MSC Norway should be informed in advance about the appointment of 3rd parties to provide the VGM.

Pesagem de Contêiner (VGM)

Todos os escritórios locais da MSC fornecem balanças certificadas para registrar e verificar o peso do contêiner (massa bruta verificada ou VGM) de acordo com os regulamentos de Salvaguarda da Vida Humana no Mar (SOLAS). As instruções do VGM são obrigatórias para todas as remessas por motivos de segurança e os operadores de embarcações só podem carregar um contêiner se seu peso for devidamente verificado. Entre em contato com sua equipe MSC local para obter mais informações e suporte.
