There are several ways you can receive confirmation of the terminal VGM (TLVGM).

  • A VERMAS will be issued to the Shipping Line and VGM Billing A/C –
  • if the Terminal weigh the container on your behalf
  • if no SLVGM has been supplied by VGM cut-off
  • if the TLVGM is used due to the 5% discrepancy

A Shipping Line will also get confirmation of the terminal VGM (TVGM) in the following instances –

  • If SLVGM has been provided, prior to arrival, VGM details will be included within their CODECO (Gate-In) message
  • VGM details will also be included within the COARRI (Load) message – of course, container will not be loaded if a VGM has not been supplied
  • When TLVGM is being used (VERMAS)
