SOLAS Regulations
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has amended the SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) convention. Effective as from the 1st of July 2016, the regulation stipulates to declare the VGM for each container.
VGM
You can declare your VGM via the following page (you must be connected to your eBusiness account). Create your eBusiness account, if you do not have any account.
Low Sulphur
Since the creation of the first Emission Control Area (ECA) in the Baltic Sea more than 10 years ago, Ocean Going Vessels are subject to stricter regulations both at global and regional level.
Since, ECAs have been enlarged to The Channel and North Sea, as well as North America and the maximum sulphur content has been reduced gradually from 4.5% to 1.5% and 1% up to this date, while the regulations set new limits in 2015 at 0.1% sulphur, which presents significant challenges for the industry including Oil Majors, Shipping Lines and Shippers
CMA CGM enforces its long-term commitment about protecting the environment, made sustainable development one of its main focuses and to comply with the new regulation set in place since January 1st, 2015.
