No. When supplying VGM details they must be applied against a container number.

Booking references and their associated container numbers often change so it could lead to a discrepancy with your weight details.

Therefore, if VGM weight information is supplied to a Booking reference, this information could be removed when a containernumber is applied or amended. The container number amendments will not affect the VGM option you have selected.

A Shipping Line can nominate a Booking reference to you (prior to a container number being assigned) and this will allow youaccess to the VGM details. To search for Booking references please use the Unit Search option under the Maritime Export menu.

It is worth noting a Booking reference is not used operationally by the terminals. This means no VGM details are issued to the terminal until a container number is assigned.
