The SOLAS VI regulations have been amended to require shippers to provide to the carrier or their terminal representative the “Verified Gross Mass” of any packed container prior to shipment regardless of who actually packs the container.. This amendment will come into effect on 1 July 2016.
A detailed summary of the requirements may be found in Marine Guidance Note MGN 534 (M+F) issued by the UK Marine and Coastguard Agency.
