MGM

MGM Definition:

MGM is the maximum weight permissible for a loaded container. It varies depending on the container's material and manufacturer. The weight details are on the CSC plate and the container's doors.

According to the MGM regulations, containers are supposed to be loaded with recommended weight limits to avoid overloading and structural damage when in transit. This minimizes the risk of accidents and regulations violations, which may cause disruptions during transportation.
