Cargo Weighing

The Korsakov Port is fitted with new equipment and an efficient process to render cargo weighing services, including with respect to loaded containers.

The Port has certified weighs with up to 50,000 kg capacity capable of determining weight with an accuracy of 20 kg.

After weighing a certificate of gross weight inspection is issued in compliance with IMO Resolution MSC.398(94), which has become mandatory for each container loaded onboard a vessel since July 1, 2016; the responsibility for the accuracy of designated weight of the loaded container rests with the consignor.

Coupled with the cargo stowing in the permanent customs control zone of berths this possibility enables weight measurements for the purposes of customs control of imported and exported cargoes.
