Lloyd’s Register joins DCSA+ to boost container shipping digitalisation

Lloyd’s Register (LR) has joined the Digital Container Shipping Association’s DCSA+ programme.

LR now becomes part of a global network of carriers, shippers, terminals, forwarders, and tech providers. Together, they aim to align the industry around open digital standards.

The DCSA+ programme offers a structured platform for collaboration. Partners connect with peers and contribute to practical, scalable digital solutions for container shipping.

LR will initially work on the Operational Vessel Schedules (OVS) standard. This initiative aims to improve visibility and coordination across vessel schedules.

Nick Gross, LR’s Global Container Ship Segment Director, said: “Joining DCSA places us at the forefront of digital transformation in containership operations. We focus on solutions that improve operational efficiency, reliability, and scalability. Working with DCSA members lets us combine technical expertise with real-world insights to make data more accessible and useful for all stakeholders.”

Mariana Bock-Losada, Chief Growth Officer at DCSA, said: “Lloyd’s Register brings strong technical and operational expertise to DCSA+. Their involvement will help accelerate the adoption of digital standards and make container shipping more connected, efficient, and sustainable.”

Jeremy Daoust, Head of Market Management & Insights at OneOcean, added: “We have a long history of connecting ships, fleets, and crews through a digital ecosystem. Our solutions cover navigation, compliance, ESG, and decision support for over 30,000 vessels. We look forward to collaborating with DCSA to help maritime leaders operate safely, efficiently, and sustainably.”

DCSA+ extends DCSA’s work beyond carriers. It enables technology providers and other partners to actively shape the standards that drive global trade.
