Today, carriers do not uniformly share schedule information. For customers, getting clarity on vessel voyage information, such as scheduled arrival and departure and routing changes, is essential for planning subsequent operations activities. But piecing together schedule information to achieve clarity can be manual and time-consuming. Data discrepancies and inaccessibility create a lack of transparency that increases dwell times at terminals and causes inland delays. As a result, supply chains are less reliable, which hinders effective resource planning and ultimately disrupts business performance.

With the DCSA CS standard in place, customers can expect to receive high-quality data about their container shipments regardless of which carrier is transporting them. CS expands the scope of the DCSA operational vessel schedule (OVS) standard with three options for accessing schedules from carriers:
Optimise your supply chain with DCSA's Commercial Schedules to receive high-quality data about their container shipments, regardless of which carrier is transporting them.
