CMA CGM announced they have created a dedicated webpage to guide operators through the new Verified Gross Mass (VGM) regulation coming into force from July 1st 2016.
CMA CGM eBusiness platform is fully compliant to handle your VGM submission requirements. VGM information is gathered, compiled and shared with terminals. VGM information can be submitted along with Shipping Instructions (SI) or through a separate submission.
- Free VGM submission : Safety, compliance and efficiency is not a matter of price. All VGM submissions within the CMA CGM eBusiness platform are free.
- Integrated visibility : CMA CGM eBusiness offers shippers a unique business space which permits you to follow the SOLAS status of all your containers in a single view.
- Pre-filled forms: For shippers with booking / BL numbers, associated container numbers and tare.
- Online Verification Process : Data entered is automatically controlled and verified to limit the risk of rejections. We make sure that your entries are compatible with the tare weight and the allowed weight. The process also will also verify the match between the booking number and the containers.
- Mass submissions: By uploading an excel file into the CMA CGM eBusiness platform, you will be able to register dozens of VGM submissions at once.
