BIC ISO container tare weight database now live online

摘要

The new database of container tare weight data recently announced by the Bureau International des Containers (BIC) is now live online, with more than half a million containers already uploaded and more being added by the day. Container owners and operators are encouraged to sign up now to upload their fleet files to the database, and shippers are invited to start using the data right away. The pilot database, which was launched by the BIC in response to the new SOLAS mandatory container weight verification requirements in effect as of July 1, provides an easy-to-access source of container tare weight data to help support carriers, shippers, forwarders, and other intermediaries.
