July 1 is the day of reckoning for millions of global supply chain stakeholders as the SOLAS Verified Gross Mass (VGM) rule goes into effect. Are you prepared to comply with the new regulation?

Please join Logistics Management for a free webinar disussing the upcoming SOLAS rule, broadcasting on Thursday, June 30th at 2pm EST. In this webcast, executive editor Patrick Burnson and a panel of ocean shipping analysts examine the range of flexibility in the methods available to shippers and forwarders and what kind of strategies should be put in place NOW.
