By setting frameworks for effective, universally adoptable solutions and innovating, we can enable transparent, reliable, easy to use, secure and environmentally friendly container transportation services.
We envision a digitally interconnected container shipping industry in which customers have a choice of seamless, easy-to-use services that provide the flexibility to meet their business and sustainability goals.
We work for the collective good of all shipping container stakeholders, recognising each players' crucial role in the supply chain.
We are establishing standards for a common technology foundation that enables global collaboration to make user-friendly, flexible, efficient, reliable and environmentally friendly.
Our developer portal is your gateway to a world of resources to make your implementation journey as easy as possible.
In April 2019, MSC, Maersk, CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd, ONE, Evergreen, Yang Ming, HMM, and ZIM founded DCSA to establish IT standards that enable interoperability across the container shipping industry. Their goal was to create a digital foundation for seamless data exchange and improved collaboration among all industry stakeholders.
In April 2024, Pacific International Lines (PIL) joined DCSA as a partner, further strengthening the collective effort to advance digitalisation standards and promote widespread adoption across global trade networks.
In the face of the promising growth in international container trade by 2025, the maritime industry confronts the significant challenge of supporting the expansion sustainably.
