During the transportation of outer four containers, the weighing process constitutes a critical operational step. Understanding the specific weighing procedures is essential for smooth operations.
When weighing needs to be conducted within port areas, it's advisable to coordinate with relevant port authorities to clarify application procedures. Typically, drivers can request weighing services from designated departments upon entering the gate area.
For outer four shipments, clients generally declare Verified Gross Mass (VGM) information using the SM2 cumulative method. Notably, VGM information permits a tolerance range of ±5%. Upon completion of weighing, the system automatically generates corresponding VGM data, marking the final step in the weighing process.
Many operators find this procedure cumbersome and time-consuming, particularly for container shipments that haven't previously required weighing. Nevertheless, this remains an indispensable component of logistics operations. We hope this overview provides valuable guidance for your operational processes.
