CoR/SOLAS

CoR/SOLAS App

Provides guidance to drivers about actions which may be taken if they suspect they are carrying an overloaded container, including details and directions to the weighbridge and 'Control Areas' within the Port Precinct.

The App provides details and guidance on:
- What a Container Weight Declaration (CWD) is
- What to do if you have a valid CWD but think the container or vehicle may be overloaded
- What to do if you do not have a valid CWD
- How you can be sure if the weight on the CWD is correct for the vehicle combination you are operating
- Details and directions to the weighbridge and TMA
- Details on 'Control Areas' within the Port Precinct and directions to each one
- General information for those carrying import containers within the Fremantle Port Precinct

If you are a transport company who handles containers at Fremantle Ports, download this App today to make it easier for your drivers and use as part of your approach to the new CoR legislation.

The app also provides an element of information to the West Australian export container on the new International Maritime Organisation’s (IMO) Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) amendment requiring verification of the weight of all export containers prior to their being loaded onto ships. There is a reply to a series of questions that the export industry may have on the new Order and information on where to obtain a weigh if at the Port. It is an additional assistance to the transport industry and drivers operating at the Port of Fremantle who may have queries as to some of their options and some of the elements they should consider when preparing export containers for delivery.

The App provides details and guidance on:
- What has changed concerning the weighing of export containers?
- Who is responsible for providing the verified weight?
- How do I verify my weight?
- I’ve got a verified weight, what do I do now?
- What if I don’t provide a declared weight?
- What are my options to get a verified weigh?
