The container register that actually enforces compliance.
Record container identity, dual seals and SOLAS Verified Gross Mass in one purpose-built register, and block any container from shipping until every mandatory compliance field is complete.
The problem
SOLAS requires a Verified Gross Mass and a traceable seal record for every container before it reaches the terminal, but most teams still capture it in spreadsheets, paper loading sheets, or free-text notes with no validation, no audit trail and no proof of who recorded what. A missing or mistyped seal number, or an undocumented mass calculation, turns a routine dispatch into a compliance failure and a liability exposure.
The solution
Container Loading & VGM Register gives export coordinators and dock supervisors a structured, enforced register: container and seal data, SOLAS-method VGM calculation, and a pre-shipment checklist that actively blocks confirmation until every mandatory field is complete — backed by sequential references, a full chatter audit trail, and a one-click customs declaration report.
Everything a VGM register needs to enforce compliance
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Container & Seal Register
Record ISO 6346 container number, type, and primary plus secondary seal numbers in one purpose-built record — no generic note boxes.
SOLAS Verified Gross Mass
Choose Method 1 (weigh the packed container) or Method 2 (sum tare and cargo weight); the Verified Gross Mass is computed and stored automatically.
Pre-Shipment Compliance Checklist
A live compliance banner lists exactly what is missing and blocks Confirm and Mark Shipped until container, seal and VGM data are all complete.
Draft, Confirmed, Shipped Workflow
A statusbar workflow with color-coded list and kanban status badges so a supervisor can see at a glance which containers are ready to go.
Automatic Sequential Reference
Every record is assigned a unique, gap-free register number on creation, so entries stay traceable and can never be silently duplicated or lost.
VGM Declaration Report
Generate the SOLAS VGM Declaration PDF directly from the recorded data in one click, ready for customs and carrier submission.
Pivot & Trend Analytics
Pivot tables and a bar graph break down Verified Gross Mass by container type, status and month, right inside Odoo — no spreadsheet exports.
Full Audit Trail
Chatter logs every field change with who and when, and supports scheduled activities, so every record can be defended to an auditor or insurer.
Bulk Manifest Import
Load a full day's dispatch list from a CSV or Excel manifest in one step using the standard list import, instead of entering containers one at a time.
How it works
Record the container
Enter the container number, type, and dual seal numbers as it is packed and sealed at the dock.
Declare the VGM
Pick a SOLAS method and enter the weight data; the Verified Gross Mass computes and stores automatically.
Confirm compliance
The checklist blocks Confirm until every mandatory field is present, flagging exactly what still needs to be filled in.
Ship and report
Mark the container Shipped and generate the VGM Declaration PDF for customs and carrier submission.
