Lloyd’s Register joins DCSA+ to accelerate digitalisation in container shipping
Lloyd’s Register (LR), a global professional services group specialising in marine engineering, technology and digital solutions, has joined the Digital Container Shipping Association’s DCSA+ partnership programme. By joining DCSA+, Lloyd’s Register becomes part of a global community of carriers, shippers, terminals, forwarders and technology providers working together to align the industry behind open digital standards. The DCSA+ programme provides a structured platform for collaboration, enabling partners to connect with peers and contribute directly to the development of practical, scalable digital solutions for the container shipping ecosystem. As an official partner, LR will initially engage in the development of the Operational Vessel Schedules (OVS) standard, an initiative focused on improving visibility and coordination across the vessel schedule value chain. “Joining the DCSA positions us at the forefront of digital transformation within the containership segment. Our focus is on developing digital solutions to provide greater operational efficiency, which are dependable and scalable. Partnering with DCSA members enables us to combine our technical expertise with real-world insight, helping to shape common standards and practical solutions to make data more accessible, reliable and useful for all stakeholders in the containership value chain,” said Nick Gross, Global Container Ship Segment Director, Lloyd’s Register. Roy de Haan, Partnership Director at DCSA, said “Lloyd’s Register brings deep technical and operational expertise that strengthens the collaborative foundation of DCSA+. Their participation supports our shared goal to accelerate the adoption of digital standards across the container shipping industry making it more connected, efficient and sustainable.” DCSA+ extends DCSA’s work beyond carriers to the wider ecosystem, enabling technology providers and other partners to play an active role in building the standards that power global trade.
