As a general guidance, the VGM should be received by Maersk prior to the cargo gate cut-off, before loading containers on the vessel.
No container will be loaded on board on a vessel without VGM, resulting in cargo delivery delays. Additionally, potential demurrage and/or detention charges may apply when a container is sitting idle at the terminal awaiting for VGM submission.
