Guidelines for Improving Safety and Implementing the SOLAS
Container Weight Verification Requirements
July 1, 2015
Summary
In November 2014, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopted mandatoryamendments to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Chapter VI,
Part A, Regulation 2 - Cargo information.
The SOLAS convention is applicable global law. The SOLAS amendments become effective on 1 July 2016 for packed containers received for transportation (gate-in or off-rail). They place a requirement on the shipper of a packed container, regardless of who packed the container, to verify and provide the container’s gross verified weight to the ocean carrier and port terminal representative prior to it being loaded onto a ship.
A verified container weight is a condition for loading a packed container aboard a vessel for export. The vessel operator and the terminal operator are required to use verified container weights in vessel stowage plans and are prohibited from loading a packed container aboard a vessel for export if the container does not have a verified container weight.
國際海事協會已於2014年11月通過國際海上人命安全協會(SOLAS)第六章A節第2款.."貨物資訊"的修正案。
國際海上人命安全協會修正案將於2016年7月1日正式生效, 適用於所有種類的貨櫃運輸, 要求所有出貨人不論由誰裝載, 都必須提供確切櫃重給船公司以及櫃場碼頭操作人員以便裝船。
確實的櫃重視為船舶出口時裝載貨櫃時的必要條件之一, 船組人員和碼頭櫃場操作人員在船舶裝載計劃上必須記載確實櫃重, 所有無法提供確實櫃重的貨櫃均不得裝船。
