The Port Authority of Barcelona presented a document that establishes the procedure for electronic communication established weight of containers before loading them on ships, as required by the amendment of the SOLAS Convention, which will come into force in July.

In addition to meeting the requirements of the agreement, the port aims to provide a guideline for the development of computerized systems in the context of the new rule application.

At a time when there are still some doubts about the practical application of the new regulation of the SOLAS Convention, the guidelines produced by the Barcelona port specify the documentary exchanges necessary to convey information about the mass of the sender's containers to the recipient, and from there to the terminal.

The supplied document also includes other scenarios in which this information should be obtained from the terminal itself or when the intervention of a third party to verify the required weight is necessary.
