I-Maersk's Crackdown on Weight Missdeclaration: I-Ripples yabathengisi beZihlangu zoKhuseleko

Isibhengezo sikaMaersk samva nje sezohlwayo ezingqongqo ngenxa yobunzima besikhonteyina esibhengezwayo sithumela umothuko phakathiiibhutsi zentsimbiishishini, ukunyanzela abathumeli bangaphandle ukuba balungise iindlela zabo zokuthumela ngenqanawa. Ukusukela nge-15 kaJanuwari, ngo-2025, isigebenga senqanawa sabeka isohlwayo se-15,000 kwisikhongozeli ngasinye ngenxa yokuchaswa kwempahla eyingozi, kunye nokungafani kobunzima obuqhelekileyo obungenisa izohlwayo ezingama-300 kunye nokulibaziseka kokuthunyelwa okanye ukwaliwa.

Izihlangu zokhuseleko, equkethe iinzwane zetsimbi kunye neentsimbi eziqinisiweyo, zijongene nemingeni ekhethekileyo phantsi kwale mithetho. Amacandelo abo anzima enza ukuba i-Verified Gross Mass (VGM) echanekileyo ibaluleke kakhulu, njengoko nokungangqinelani okuncinci kunokukhokelela kwizohlwayo. Ngaphantsi kwemithetho ye-SOLAS, abathumeli kufuneka babonelele nge-VGM ngokusebenzisa i-post-packing weighing (Indlela ye-1) okanye ushwankathelo lwamacandelo kunye nobunzima be-container tare (Indlela yesi-2). Kwizihlangu zokhuseleko, iNdlela yesi-2 ibeka emngciphekweni iimpazamo ngokushiya izinto zokupakisha ezifana neqamza okanye iibhokisi ezomeleleyo, ezongeza ubunzima obubalulekileyo.

Iingcaphephe zemizi-mveliso zilumkisa ngefuthe elibi. Ukuphambuka kobunzima be-5% okanye ukungafani kwe-1-toni ngoku kubangela iintlawulo, ukuphazamisa imijikelezo yokuvelisa nje ngexesha. "Abathengisi bezihlangu zokhuseleko kufuneka batyale imali kwizikali ezilinganisiweyo kunye neenkqubo zokupakisha ezilungelelanisiweyo," ucebisa umcebisi wezothutho u-Elena Rodriguez. Uninzi lwamkela iinkqubo zokulinganisa ukulandelela izinto ukusuka kwimveliso ukuya ekulayisheni

UMaersk ugxininisa ukuba la manyathelo anciphisa iingozi ezisuka kwishifti yempahla okanye kwizikhongozeli ezigcwele kakhulu. Izihlangu zokhuseleko (kubandakanywaIzihlangu zokusebenza zeGoodyear Welt zokhuselekoIibrendi, ukuthobela akuyondleko nje kuphela-yinto efunekayo kukhuphiswano. Abo basilelayo ukuziqhelanisa banokujongana nemihla ebekiweyo kunye nomonakalo wodumo kumakhonkco onikezelo lwehlabathi.
