SOLAS VGM Requirement - Philippines

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
