IMO’s new rule, which became effective on 1 July this year, requires every container to obtain a VGM or certified weight in order to gain clearance to be loaded onto a ship.

"Many of HMM’s customers are already using INTTRA eVGM."

Hyundai Merchant Marine global CS team deputy general manager John Kim said: “We have been working in partnership with INTTRA for many years and are pleased to announce the broadening of our relationship to include the SOLAS compliance service.

“A major benefit will be connecting directly with key customers through a variety of channels, including EDI, XML, the web and mobile devices.”
