To make your life easier, you can submit your VGM data easily online. For this, you can either choose the Hapag-Lloyd VGM solution or you can use the VGM Excel Template.
As of July 1, 2016, the SOLAS regulation, effective as a global law, prohibits the loading of a packed container in absence of the VGM. This applies to all packed containers that are to be loaded onto a vessel under the SOLAS regulation in international maritime transport. Find out more about how the regulations affect you as a shipper or as a terminal.
