A shared reference for how container shipping works.
The Industry Blueprint is a shared reference for how container shipping works. Developed with DCSA's member carriers, it maps the critical business processes that run across the industry, from booking to vessel arrival, covering the Shipment, Equipment, and Vessel journeys end to end.
It shows how the industry operates today and where DCSA standards apply within those processes, making it a practical resource for technical teams implementing standards, people new to the industry, and anyone building digital solutions for container shipping.
