VGM[1] has been put in place in 2016 to improve safety. Liners reported high compliance shortly after adoption [2] and [3]. This reporting of self-compliance should of course be taken with a grain of salt.
In addition, as the article mentions, the loss of 3000 containers in 2020 should be compared to the 220+ million shipped each year (2019) [4]. That is less than 0.0014%.
I'm not saying it's not a problem but am merely pointing out that progress is being made with regards to weighing containers.
Thats a really good point regarding EU citizens having access to this service.
Swedish services are thoroughly tied to the bankid/personnal number. There is a EU regulation [1] somewhat related to this that prevent sellers from discriminating the availability of goods based on your place of residence.
I wonder if this regulation applies to these shops.
A couple of paragraphs are particularly interesting, #18 and #19:
(18) [...] traders should not, through the use of technological measures or otherwise, prevent customers from having full and equal access to online interfaces, including in the form of mobile applications, based on their nationality, place of residence or place of establishment. [...]
(19) In order to ensure the equal treatment of customers and to avoid discrimination, as required by this Regulation, traders should not design their online interface, or apply technological means, in a way that would, in practice, not allow customers from other Member States to easily complete their orders.
I'm pretty sure the regulation is violated all the time everywhere, i.e. vending machines that require some local electronic card (e.g. to prove your age for sigarettes).
Which EU countries have cigarette vending machines? I've never seen such a thing, in the countries I shop they're behind a cashier. Sometimes even hidden so that if you don't know what to ask for you're not getting it.
In Germany, cigarette vending machines were incredibly common until around 15 years ago, but I haven't seen one in ages. Between stricter age verification requirements, a decline in smoking in general, and vandalism towards those machines, the profit margin was probably stretched too slim to continue maintaining these machines.

Requirements:
We're looking for a Devops Engineer (>=50% coding) with 5 years minimum of professional experience in deploying SaaS applications.
We're also hiring for a Backend Senior Software Engineer with at least 5 years of professional experience.
Our company:
Did you know that 90% of all goods globally are transported through a container, and the largest container vessels are 400 meters long and can transport 20,000 containers at a time? The container shipping industry is the back-bone and enabler of global trade, but it is struggling. At its core the industry is fundamentally inefficient: 50% of all container vessels globally are delayed coming into port, and key planning processes are done manually on a global scale. This leads to high operational costs, lost revenue, and unnecessarily high greenhouse gas emissions
Portchain is a 3 year old Danish container shipping startup devoted to help container carriers and terminals reduce operational complexity and optimize planning. We apply cutting-edge AI leading to both a better bottom line and less greenhouse gas emissions.
We are an international team of 15 people serving a global customer base and several of the largest companies in the industry. We have received $5M in funding to expand the team in order to serve our increasing customer traction.

Not OP but I always found it odd that danish companies don’t post salaries in job ads. Just an observation vs the UK where it is common practice. Wondering if it’s one of the reasons, along with tax, salaries are so much lower in that country. Either way very kind of you to help OP, I highly recommend denmark as a country and culture.
Generally, the US does not. If they do for a higher paying position, I would find it weird and/or a sign that they aren’t open to negotiation, which I would take to mean they aren’t competitive (but that means you also have to be desirable enough to have options).
