MCA approved organisations for container weight requirements
Please find attached a list of all organisations whose method for determining the verified gross mass (VGM) of a packed container has been approved by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA).

Please note: method 1 users (those who weigh the packed and sealed containers) do not require MCA approval numbers at this time.
To apply for approval: Indicative application document for container weight approval.
