Container weighing Since 1 July 2016, all laden export containers are required to have a certified Verified Gross Mass (VGM) before being loaded onto a vessel. You can find out more about this on our dedicated container weighing site. Here you will also find more details about our container weighing charges listed below as well as pricing exceptions. For our service applying to all laden export containers we will charge one of the following fees to recover our investments and additional (administrative) recurring costs:
Where the VGM is provided prior to arrival at the terminal
£1.00
VGM provision after box arrival but before 24 hour cut-off
£3.00
Where the terminal is requested to weigh the container and provide a TVGM with electronic signature
£17.50 If the VGM provided by shipper/line differs more than 500 kg or 5% (whichever is more) from the terminal determined weight, the TVGM will be used and the following charge applies: £1 (VGM before gate in) or £3 (VGM after gate in) + £17.50 + £10 (mis-declaration fee) If a shipper VGM is expected, but not provided by the VGM cut-off time (24 hrs before vessel arrival) or prior to arrival of the container if this is after the VGM cut-off, the charge will be: £3 (VGM after gate in) + £17.50.
