B.  PROVISION OF VGM
1.  Time for Submitting VGM
In order to enable Carrier to comply with the requirements of SOLAS described above, Shipper or its authorized agent must provide the VGM of cargo tendered to Carrier, calculated in accordance with applicable legal requirements, no later than the cutoff time communicated by Carrier at the time of booking.

2.  Form of VGM
Carrier accepts VGM submission from Shipper or its authorized agent with all the required VGM data presented in any format for transmission.

SOLAS requires that the VGM data submitted by Shipper indicate that the weight provided is the VGM and that it be signed by a person duly authorized by Shipper.  Shipper or its agent may fulfill this signature requirement as follows:
(i) In the case of VGM provided via EDI, by including the name of the duly authorized person in CAPITAL LETTERS in the EDI information; or
(ii) In the case of VGM provided via electronic [or hard copy document], by including a physical signature of the duly authorized person in the document or by including an electronic signature of the duly authorized person in the document (e.g., “signed by NAME IN CAPITAL LETTERS”).

The foregoing signature shall constitute a warranty by the individual that it is authorized to sign such document on behalf of Shipper.

C.  AMENDMENT/DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN VGM AND SUBSEQUENTLY DETERMINED WEIGHT
Carrier (including its agents/contractors) may weigh cargo for which a VGM has been received.  If the weight determined by Carrier differs from the VGM received from the Shipper or its agent or shipper request carrier to amend the initially submitted VGM, Carrier shall replace the VGM on all shipping documents with the weight determined by Carrier.  

Also Carrier may replace the VGM on all shipping documents by shipper’s request.  

Any charge for extra service provided by carrier or cost incurred due to VGM discrepancies shall be for the account of the shipper.

D.  FAILURE TO TIMELY SUBMIT VGM
If a packed container is received without a VGM or if the VGM is not received by the deadline established under this rule, Carrier shall have the option to either:

(i)  Refuse to load the container until a VGM is supplied by Shipper, in which case any and all costs, fees, expenses, damages and/or penalties of every and any type, nature or source shall be for the account of the cargo; or

(ii) Weigh the cargo on behalf of the Shipper  and use that weight in lieu of the VGM. And all cost for weight and/or any additional administrative and operation fees assessed by the marine terminal shall be for the account of the shipper.

(iii) Submit VGM after receiving VGM from the Shipper ,  any additional administrative and operation fees assessed by the marine terminal shall apply for the account of cargo.
