APM Terminals to offer container weighing at 29 locations

With 50 days remaining until SOLAS verified gross mass (VGM) rules come into force, APM Terminals (APMT) has confirmed it will provide container weighing services at 29 facilities around the world.

Under international law from July 1, 2016 shippers are required to provide a VGM for every container before it can be loaded with the shipping line.

APM Terminals head of global operations, Jack Craig, said: “Our first priority remains to ensure safe and efficient operations for the supply chain.”
