T-Mining joins DCSA+

AMSTERDAM, 18 August 2026The Digital Container Shipping Association (DCSA) announces that T-Mining has joined its DCSA+ partnership programme to help advance interoperable digital standards and accelerate the adoption of standards-based Secure Container Release (SCR) across the container shipping industry.Container release processes currently vary by port and terminal, creating a fragmented landscape for carriers and shippers. These processes can also introduce security vulnerabilities. Shared digital standards can help simplify implementation while enabling more secure, interoperable container release across the industry.Through DCSA+, T-Mining will contribute its practical implementation experience to the development and adoption of shared industry standards for Secure Container Release. Having deployed its solution with leading ocean carriers including MSC, Hapag-Lloyd and CMA CGM since 2016, the company brings operational insight to DCSA working groups, helping to ensure that emerging standards reflect real-world conditions while supporting interoperable, scalable solutions across carriers, ports, terminals and technology providers.In turn, DCSA+ gives T-Mining a structured route to contribute to standards development alongside carriers, ports and terminals, and to help shape solutions that are practical and interoperable across the industry.Nico Wauters, CEO at T-Mining, says: “Since 2016, we’ve gained first-hand experience implementing Secure Container Release with leading carriers and terminals around the world, ensuring the safe handover of millions of containers in the last 10 years. Joining DCSA+ is the natural next step, allowing us to bring those practical insights into the development of a global standard rather than regional implementations. We look forward to collaborating with carriers and other stakeholders to help create standards that are both secure and practical to implement across the industry.”Mariana Bock-Losada, Chief Growth Officer at DCSA, adds: “Secure, interoperable container release is an important enabler of the industry’s digital transformation. T-Mining brings valuable operational experience from implementing Secure Container Release across multiple carriers, terminals and geographies. Through DCSA+, their expertise will help strengthen the development of standards that are practical, scalable and aligned with the needs of the wider container shipping ecosystem.”DCSA+ extends DCSA’s collaborative approach to standards development to include carriers, technology providers, cargo owners, forwarders, feeders and terminals. Partners gain structured access to implementation support, early insight into emerging standards, and opportunities to shape solutions that are scalable and aligned with industry needs.DCSA Media contactMarketing Team [email protected]T-Mining Media contactMarketing Team [email protected] About T-MiningT-Mining is an Antwerp-based technology provider dedicated to making maritime logistics processes more secure and efficient through its Secure Container Release (SCR) solution.
