CONTAINER WEIGHING Clause Samples

The Container Weighing clause establishes the requirement for accurately determining and documenting the weight of shipping containers before they are loaded onto a vessel. Typically, this involves the shipper providing a verified gross mass (VGM) of each container, either by weighing the packed container or by calculating the total weight based on the contents and container tare. This clause ensures compliance with international safety regulations, such as SOLAS, and helps prevent overloading, misdeclaration, and related safety risks during transport.
CONTAINER WEIGHING. (a) The Operator shall check the existence of a VGM in the Cargo documentation provided by the Customer and shall not load a packed Container onto a Vessel to which SOLAS applies unless it has a VGM for such Container either provided by a VGM Declarant before the VGM Cut-off or established by the Operator in accordance with clause 3.5(c) below. (b) The Operator shall treat as genuine and rely in good faith upon, without further investigation, a gross mass of a Container purporting to be a VGM received from a VGM Declarant in any communication ordinarily used for the provision of information or as otherwise agreed between the Parties. (c) If either: (i) a packed Container has been received by the Terminal but the VGM for such Container is not provided to the Operator by a VGM Declarant before the VGM Cut-off; or it is agreed in writing (including by e-mail) between the Parties that a packed Container shall be weighed by the Operator, then the Operator shall obtain the VGM for such Container using appropriately calibrated and certified equipment as required by Applicable Laws and, for the purpose of paragraph (ii), that VGM shall replace the VGM for that Container previously provided by a VGM Declarant1. (d) Any weight of a packed Container established by the Operator, other than pursuant to clause 3.5(c) above, shall not be considered as the VGM for the purpose of SOLAS and Applicable Law related thereto. (e) The Operator will promptly communicate the VGM obtained in accordance with clause 3.5(c) above to the Customer. (f) The Operator shall not load a Container onto a Vessel if the VGM provided by the Customer or established by the Operator in accordance with clause 3.5(c) above shows a VGM greater than the maximum gross mass indicated on the Safety Approval Plate under the International Convention for Safe Containers, as amended (an “Overweight Container”). (g) If agreed with the Customer and subject to clause 3.5(f), the Operator will de-stuff Overweight Containers and stuff and seal two or more Containers with the contents of such Overweight Containers and weigh each repacked sealed Container in accordance with clause 3.5(c). The [Customer/Operator] shall be responsible for removing any Overweight Containers from the Terminal without delay at the cost of the Customer. (h) The Customer shall pay all such charges arising out of or in connection with the activities performed by the Operator in this clause 3.5 and levied by the Terminal as are set out in Ap...

  • Weighing 5.1. In order to calculate the quantity of Grain delivered to a Port Terminal Facility: (a) all Grain delivered by road to the Port Terminal Facilities for unloading must be weighed using CBH’s weighing facilities operated by CBH personnel recording the gross and tare weights of the road vehicles containing the loads of Grain; (b) if the Grain is delivered by rail from a CBH Site upcountry, the weight will be determined by referencing the weight of the load determined by CBH at the relevant upcountry Site (CBH Weight); and (c) if the Grain is delivered by rail from a third party site and where the Port Terminal Facilities have such facilities, CBH will batch weigh the Grain unloaded from rail vehicles into the grid. 5.2. If Grain is delivered a Port Terminal Facility by rail pursuant to clause 5.1(b) of this Schedule 6, CBH may elect to batch weigh the Grain at the Port Terminal Facility. If, following an audit by CBH under this clause 7.2 of this Schedule 7, there is a discrepancy of more than 2.5% between the CBH Weight and the weight determined by CBH at Port (“Weight Shortfall”), CBH may deduct the relevant Weight Shortfall from the Customer’s Grain Entitlement and charge the Customer the Rail Weighing Fee as set out in the Fees and Charges Schedule. 5.3. In all cases, CBH must provide the Customer with a weighbridge ticket or other statement certifying the weight and quantity of Grain delivered to the Port Terminal Facility and confirming the name of the person in whose name the Grain is delivered based on the information contained in the Customer’s Direct to Port Delivery Declaration Form and Direct to Port Sample Declaration Form provided to CBH at or prior to the delivery of each load of Grain at the Port Terminal Facility.

  • Containers An extra charge will be made for returnable containers and special shipping devices (such as oil barrels, reels, tarpaulins, commutator clamps, etc.) where they are consigned to the Purchaser, but refund will be made if returned in good condition to the factory, or other points designated by EXION, within ninety (90) days from the date of original shipment, charges prepaid.

  • RE-WEIGHING PRODUCT Deliveries are subject to re- weighing at the point of destination by the Authorized User. If shrinkage occurs which exceeds that normally allowable in the trade, the Authorized User shall have the option to require delivery of the difference in quantity or to reduce the payment accordingly. Such option shall be exercised in writing by the Authorized User.
