How will container shipping go about transforming into a truly digital industry? What are the different challenges for each part of the industry?

What can container shipping learn from other industries like banking and telecoms that have already undergone digital transformation? Can shipping make the cultural shift needed to embrace digitalisation and gain the same kind of benefits?

Robert Taylor introduces the panellists and ask them to share what they consider to be the driving principle behind shared digital standards for container shipping. Why is digital transformation needed, and what’s the urgency to do it now?

Programme enables stakeholders to publicly demonstrate successful adoption of DCSA standards.

Facilitating the implementation of DCSA bill of lading (B/L) standards

Within five years, we’ll see improved customer experiences and the emergence of innovative new platforms built on standards and interoperability. Sustainability will also be a key driver of digitalisation.

True progress can only be achieved if all parts of the industry are willing to engage, try new things and invest in digital standards.

Alongside the drive for digital documentation, DCSA is focusing on making it easier for carriers to share timely, actionable and accurate data with customers.

Standards play a crucial role in the enablement of digitalisation and interoperability and will enable customers to enjoy the benefits of the digital revolution.
