I know that the freight industry is as guilty as any other when it comes to acronyms and technical terms.

Did you know that VGM stands for Verified Gross Mass, for instance?

Or that container demurrage refers to the excess time if a container is used for longer than booked or agreed?

And that devanning is the process of removing cargo from a container, also known as unstuffing, unloading or unpacking. Actually, you could probably work that one out yourself.

Anyway, to help you understand what we are talking about I have provided a handy Glossary on our website. You can find it here.

Now you’ll know what we are talking about. Well, for some of the time anyway.
