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?
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.
