Recent marine accidents are mainly related to cargo, and tend to lead to major accidents when they occur. Accidents are increasing due to the weight of the container and most of the damage is caused by cargo‘s mis-presentation of informations. Therefore, IMO has amended the SOLAS’s regulation that requires the shipper of a packed container to provide the carrier with the Container’s Verified Gross Mass (VGM) before the stowage on board of a ship. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of VGM implementation and the discussion of the introduction of VGM is reviewed by each party to present to each party possible problems and countermeasures. Generally, marine accidents have occurred due to vessel defects or other force majeure events, but recent accidents have shown a tendency to be associated mainly with cargo. In particular, accidents caused by incorrect verification of container weight are high damaging, such as the total loss of cargo or vessel. The IMO has revised the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) in July 2016, and since then, the global weight of container cargo and to make the verification system mandatory. Therefore, Korea is also making efforts to apply the standard for maritime safety by preparing the standard that is reflected in domestic laws and regulations in the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries. Therefore, In this study, I would like to review present problems that may occur to each party according to the introduction of VGM.
