With SOLAS regulations requiring a verified container weight coming into effect July 1st 2016, shippers should be ready to comply with these regulations in June 2016. In order to comply, precision weighing solutions will be required to provide a verified gross mass in one of the following ways:
Method 1
Weigh the container completely packed, the weigh pads will weigh shipping containers up to 40 tonnes.
Method 2
Weigh each package/item being loaded into the container and add the tare weight of the container.
