This solution brief explains how confident compliance with international maritime regulations helps keep cargo moving safely and efficiently. To prevent accidents and ensure proper vessel balance, carriers must accurately account for container weights when planning stowage. The International Maritime Organization’s SOLAS regulations require shippers to electronically submit verified gross mass data before containers are loaded. E2open’s VGM data submission capabilities support SOLAS-compliant processes by enabling accurate, timely sharing of verified container weights. This reduces risk, prevents loading delays, supports safe stowage planning, and helps shippers and carriers maintain smooth, compliant ocean shipping operations.
