MSC Digital Talks Ep. 11: How DCSA Standards Drive Cross-Industry Collaboration

22/10/2024

 
Welcome to the latest episode of MSC Digital Talks. Today our CDIO André Simha is speaking to Thomas Bagge, CEO of the Digital Container Shipping Association (DCSA), about how this neutral, non-profit organization is transforming the maritime industry.

Both Thomas and André were part of the founding team of DCSA, which was established in 2019 to digitize and standardize container shipping.

Before joining DCSA, Thomas held various international leadership positions at A.P. Moller - Maersk, focusing on technology, process optimization and organizational change. With over two decades of experience, he has a solid understanding of industry change complexities and working with governments and global organizations.

How DCSA standards drive cross-industry collaboration

In the video, Thomas shares an update on DCSA’s mission to create standards that facilitate collaboration between all the stakeholders involved in international trade, from carriers to customers, banks, regulators and technology service providers. He and André (who is also the Chairman of the DCSA Supervisory Board) discuss key milestones such as the commitment by all 10 members to reach 100% eBL by 2030.

"

Our focus is very much on trying to digitalize trade, but the most important thing is always the customers, who need to benefit from this.
