VEA calls for constructive debate with OTM on cost of container weighing

Last Monday, shippers’ umbrella association OTM claimed that the mandatory container weighing would be abused by forwarders to inflate profit margins. However, that statement requires serious nuance, VEA believes: “As forwarders, we are still positive about the Solas story,” says chairman Johan Proost. “We are happy to underline once again the need for correct data for the entire chain.”
