Commercial Schedules 1.0
Standard documentation
What can you expect from the DCSA interface standard for Commercial Schedules 1.0?
DCSA and its member carriers have published the DCSA standard for Commercial Schedules for the global container shipping industry. This standard is designed to expand the scope of applicability of OVS by providing to BCOs, LSPs, and Platforms with three alternatives to consume schedules from carriers. With these standards in place, carriers can digitally share point-to-point routings, port schedules, and vessel schedules. The aim is to ensure that the end-user experience remains consistent across all industry participants who use these standards. This will provide transparency, efficiency, and enable better planning and optimisation of shipping activities.
As part of the Commercial Schedules standard, DCSA has also published CS OpenAPI definitions on SwaggerHub, an open–source API development platform. The OpenAPI definitions for Commercial Schedules follow the DCSA API design principles. Carriers can use the definitions to implement DCSA standard-compliant APIs rapidly. Documentation on the Operational Vessel Schedules standard, including versioning guidance, can be found on GitHub.
