Executive Summary

Project purpose

The project’s purpose is to develop and publish an international EDIFACT “Verified Gross Mass Exchange Message” for international & national trade.

Project scope

On the 1st of July 2016 a Verified Gross Mass regulation will come into force worldwide as a new part of the IMO SOLAS Convention. Whilst this specific regulation affects only maritime transport, it is envisaged that similar requirements might also exist in other modes of transport. The proposed project is, therefore, to develop an international EDIFACT Verified Gross Mass Exchange UNSM, with the following objectives: • The Verified gross mass message may be used for both national and international applications. • The VERMAS message is typically exchanged between a shipper of goods for ocean transport, a forwarder, a non-vessel operating common carrier, an operator of a container weighing facility, a container terminal operator / stevedore, a vessel operator, a shipping line, the vessel's master, a container operator or a slot charterer. • It is based on universal practice related to monitoring the logistics transport chain and is not dependent on the type of business or industry.
