Ports and terminal operators have been placed in the difficult position of being unable to select systems in the absence of a full specification of the precise rules that will govern their application.<\/p>\n
With requirements being set by the competent state authority for SOLAS regulation within each jurisdiction.<\/p>\n
Three key parameters need to be defined in order for effective implementation to take place in each SOLAS state.<\/p>\n
The first of these is the VGM accuracy threshold required for prosecution. This is effectively the amount by which the declared mass of container is allowed to vary from its measured weight before it is declared non-compliant.<\/p>\n
Secondly, the accuracy of the equipment required in order to deliver the above VGM is needed, this must clearly be a tighter limit than that prescribed for the prosecution level above.<\/p>\n
The final key parameter still undecided is the process to be followed for the equipment suppliers to obtain certification of installed VGM equipment.<\/p>\n
Therefore there is a twofold dilemma had by Stainstall, who are watching each step of the negotiation process so they can move as quickly as possible to support customers when the time comes.<\/p>\n
But it is also ensuring that the container VGM solutions it provides all parts of the world are specifically in a manner that exceeds the likely worst case scenario for accuracy and certification.<\/p>\n
Stainstall are ensuring that its VGM solutions are highly accurate across the full range of possible container weights and not just at high loads.<\/p>\n
This is so its customers are assured that their equipment will be complaint from the very lightest to beyond the maximum allowable weight of a loaded container.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
