Tare Packing Dunnage Cargo Lashing LASHED & SECURED

    SOLAS Method 2: VGM = tare + cargo + packing + dunnage + lashing. Prefilled tares are typical values: use the actual tare on the container door/CSC plate.

    For guidance only. The shipper is responsible for the VGM. Always use weights from calibrated scales or reliable documents and check your carrier's requirements. The results are a guide, not professional advice.
