Following our previous communication on the implementation of the new SOLAS VGM requirement, we would like to advise that effective June 8, 2020, Maersk will implement a “No Verified Gross Mass (VGM), No Loading” policy across all Philippines ports.
To ensure that your container will be included for loading, please adhere to the following guidelines
- Submit your final shipping instruction (FSI) with VGM details on or before the deadline.
- Weight indicated in the FSI should be close to actual VGM weight (tare+cargo weight). Discrepancy should not be more than 1000KGS
Please refer to below cut offs per service
