Let APL Logistics Streamline Your SOLAS VGM Compliance Process

Let APL Logistics Streamline Your SOLAS VGM Compliance Process Since the new mandatory Safety of Life at Sea Verified Gross Mass (SOLAS VGM) regulations went into effect on July 1, 2016, customers have come to appreciate that a comprehensive SOLAS VGM solution is required for multi-site compliance that integrates smoothly with their global supply chain. Ineffective solutions could lead to supply chain disruptions that add time and increase shipment costs, effectively delaying speed to market. We examined different issues in our preceding articles, ‘SOLAS VGM - 5 Things You Need To Know To Comply‘ & ‘Is Your EDI Ready For Full SOLAS VGM Compliance‘, that pointed the need for a seamless, fully compliant, and end-to-end SOLAS VGM solution. At APL Logistics, we took a holistic approach in deploying our SOLAS VGM solutions that addresses compliance, data platform integration and other operational issues for both FCL and LCL shipments at key origin locations. Customer can access our solution for certified weighing services across our global network of over 60 CFS facilities. Additional facilities will be added over time to serve and expand our customer coverage.
