homepage. The links are also available on the GCT application page
from the VGM button top right on the page.
In addition to our web entry tool, "K" Line plans to accept EDI transmission of VGM via the following methods:
- EDI Vermas –Designed for VGM submissions. This is "K" Line's preferred
message type for communicating VGM.
- EDI 304 / IFTMIN (EDI BL Instructions) – VGMs in the EDI BL instruction submission.
Note that the shipper's authorized party should be included in the message and that a separate VGM weight
(which includes tare) will be needed. Please also note that if using this method for any cargo loading
at terminals requiring VGM prior to in-gate, "K" Line will need to receive EDI BL
instructions prior to container in-gate.
