Digital Container Shipping Association (DCSA)

In our latest newsletter, we shared some exciting recent milestones that have taken place here at #DCSA.   Last month, we released the final version of our Commercial Schedules (CS) standard, ensuring a seamless, transparent, and efficient experience for all industry participants.   We also published our ‘State of the Industry Report’, which leverages insights from across the industry to provide a 360-degree view of how digitalisation is reshaping the container shipping landscape.    Finally, we’re proud to announce that, just one year after its launch and in collaboration with our partners at Future International Trade (FIT) Alliance, we have achieved 200 public endorsements for the eBL Declaration!   This is a great accomplishment, and we would like to extend a big thank you to all stakeholders and members.   Read the full newsletter to learn more.   #Newsletter #ContainerShipping #Digitalisation
