As per the SOLAS regulation, effective 1 July, 2016, it is the shipper's responsibility to provide the Verified Gross Mass (VGM) to UASC or the port terminal facility representative upon the delivery of the container to the port facility and prior to loading.
We expect all our customers to be fully compliant with the SOLAS requirements. However, if there is non-compliance to procedures, UASC reserves the right to collect any out-of-pocket costs which may be charged to us by Third Parties.
Further, to recover costs from operational disruptions, loss of capacity and/or administration, we will apply charges for Europe exports* as follows:
- (Non) Compliance Fee: EUR50/Container
- Manual Processing Fee amount: EUR25/Container
- Scope: From Europe* to US only
- Cargo Type: All cargo types
- Effective date: 1st August, 2016 (based on cargo gate-in date)
For United Kingdom, the charges apply in British Pound (GBP). Further local charges may be applicable, depending on local conditions and requirements.
(*) Applicable for exports from Austria, Baltic States, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Norway, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands, United Kingdom.

Explanation of the Charges:
(Non) Compliance Fee: If UASC incurs additional administration costs on specific containers, related to shipper's non-compliance with VGM certification requirements.
Processing Fee: If the shipper submits VGM details by any means other than online or EDI submissions.
