Freight Mate - SOLAS Verified Gross Mass - Weigh and Certificate System

Freight Mate - SOLAS Verified Gross Mass - Weigh and Certificate System

 

Freight Mate (tm) is a complete, automated, weigh and V.G.M certificate system for SOLAS

From July 1st 2016 amendments to the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) document ‘Safety of Life at Sea 1974', known as SOLAS, may impact on New Zealand’s legal metrology infrastructure.  SOLAS provides the minimum safety standards in construction, equipment and operation for merchant shipping.
 
The amendments have introduced a mandatory requirement that all packed shipping containers for export & coastal shipping must have a Verified Gross Mass (VGM)  declaration for use in the stowage plan, prior to being loaded onto a vessel.  If there is no VGM or if the VGM is found to be incorrect, the container is not to be loaded onto its intended ship.  Freight forwarders, vessel operators, container terminal operators, shipping lines, businesses packing directly into containers for marine transport, all need to abide by the SOLAS regulations.
 
Advasco Scales have a solution!  We have an indicator, scale and software package that weighs, stores and prints a PDF ready for the certification required by SOLAS. Or we may be able to interface with your existing hardware.
