“…The Committee also approved the related draft guidelines regarding the verified gross mass of a container carrying cargo to be issued as an MSC circular [3]. Article 10f of the EU directive 2015/719/EU requires also mass declaration for containers and swap bodies during road transport to know that road vehicles are not overloaded [4][5][6][7].…”

This paper focuses on the methods of obtaining Verified Gross Mass of packed containers or other Intermodal Loading Units in Slovakia taking into consideration requirements of section 4 to 6, Regulation 2, Part A, chapter VI SOLAS and article 10f of the EU directive 2015/719/EU. The methods which used in Slovakia are described where the comparative analysis of selected weighing methods is performed on selected examples from loading organisations. The paper also recommends the use of certain weighing methods for the selected loading organisations as appropriate procedures to obtain Verified Gross Mass of packed containers or other Intermodal Loading Units.

The paper deals with the research results regarding the possible impact on the EU logistics of regulating the regular weekly rest of road freight drivers. Road freight transport is used for the large distance and the implemented changes, high fines on drivers, and carriers as well can reduce the availability of vehicles for this transport, which may have negative impact on the logistics sector, including seaports, and can cause the increased theft of shipments. The paper focuses on the major shortage of road freight drivers and the age structure of current drivers, which is a further threat to the EU logistics sector. This may have a positive impact on the increased use of the rail freight transport.
