World Shipping Council Issues New Shipping Guidance

The regulations place a requirement on the shipper
of a packed container to provide the container’s gross verified weight to the
ocean carrier and port terminal representative sufficiently in advance of
vessel loading to be used in the preparation of the ship stowage plan. The WSC
has developed a guidance document to explain what the
implementation of the SOLAS amendments will require of shippers, carriers, and
terminal operators.
