# Container Stuffing Services

Container stuffing services are the professional loading, weight distribution, cargo securing, and documentation of goods packed into ocean freight containers. Stevedoring firms, container freight stations (CFS), and third-party logistics providers offer these services to shippers who lack in-house stuffing capacity. A key regulatory requirement under SOLAS is the verified gross mass (VGM) declaration: every packed container must be weighed and its gross mass confirmed before it is accepted for vessel loading. Container stuffing differs from terminal stevedoring, which concerns how containers are positioned aboard the ship rather than how they are packed.
