Cut-off
Also called: CY cut-off, VGM cut-off, documentation cut-off
The deadlines before a sailing by which a container must reach the terminal and its weight and documents must be filed.
Lines and terminals publish cut-offs for each sailing: the CY cut-off for gate-in of the full container, the VGM cut-off for its verified weight, and the documentation cut-off for the shipping instructions. Missing one usually means the box is shut out.
Cut-offs can change at short notice.
Where it goes wrong
A revised cut-off reaches one inbox, while the trucker and the factory keep the old plan and the container misses the gate.
