While the SOLAS regulations primarily apply to ships themselves, they also have an impact on ports and terminals that handle shipping operations. Specifically, SOLAS regulations require ports and terminals to provide a safe environment for ships to load, unload, and navigate. This includes ensuring that the infrastructure, equipment, and personnel at the port or terminal meet certain safety standards.

- Are you interested in providing verified gross-mass (VGM) weight as a service for an additional source of revenue?
