SOLAS is a set of regulations aimed at keeping transport via the seas safe and compliant. Primarily, SOLAS helps to regulate the loading of ships to avoid safety hazards associated with uneven loading.
These regulations require you to provide a verified gross mass for all shipping containers. Although they list two general methods for determining verified gross weight, they do not provide specific guidelines about the type of weighing equipment or the procedures you could use.
This guide explains the options available for determining the weight of your containers and identifying the option that will best fit your business.
