SEKO Logistics Teams Up with INTTRA to Protect Customer Supply Chains as SOLAS Changes Come Into Force

SEKO Logistics is to partner with INTTRA, the world’s ocean shipping electronic marketplace, to submit verified gross mass (VGM) information to shipping lines in compliance with the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) amendments to The Safety of Life at Sea Convention (SOLAS), which come into force on 1 July 2016.The IMO mandate is being introduced to enhance maritime safety and reduce dangers throughout ocean freight transportation. The new rule requires a verified weight to be submitted for any packed export container before it can be loaded onto a ship.SEKO continues to see significant growth in its ocean product, boosted by its ability to combine global shipping services with bundled software solutions. It is now conducting training and webinars in the U.S., Asia and Europe for its staff to submit VGM data through the INTTRA portal in order to make the transition for its customers as seamless as possible.
