en.Wedoany.com Reported - DNV has integrated its cloud data platform Veracity into the DCSA+ Partner Program under the Digital Container Shipping Association (DCSA), with both parties jointly advancing the development of a trusted maritime data ecosystem in the global container shipping sector.
Developed by DNV, the Veracity platform is designed to help stakeholders across the maritime value chain securely share and reuse verified emissions and operational data. The platform currently connects to the majority of the global fleet and integrates over 90 data and solution partners.
DCSA+ stated in its announcement that Veracity, through standardized data flows, can connect stakeholders such as shipowners, charterers, ports, and solution providers, building a broad maritime data ecosystem. By joining DCSA+, Veracity will participate in the development and implementation of industry-wide shared standards to enhance interoperability and enable smoother data exchange.
The collaboration comes against a backdrop where fragmented and non-standardized data issues are particularly pronounced when information flows across multiple stakeholders and systems, especially in emissions reporting and supply chain collaboration. The announcement noted that operational data is often processed manually or interpreted differently among parties, leading to inefficiencies, delays, and a lack of trust. As emissions data becomes increasingly linked to commercial transactions and regulatory requirements, the need for transparent, standardized data exchange has become critical.
DNV has set building a more interconnected ecosystem as a key goal, committed to achieving interoperability, automation, transparency, and data reuse across the industry value chain. This direction aligns with DNV's 2030 strategy, which emphasizes combining digital capabilities with deep industry knowledge to support customers in safe and efficient operations during complex transitions.
Mikkel Skou, Executive Director of Veracity at DNV, stated that the value of maritime data is maximized only when stakeholders trust and can securely share it. "We are building this trusted foundation through Veracity, centered on verified, standardized data flows, with thousands of ships and 90 partners supporting emissions reporting, green finance, and value chain collaboration. Joining DCSA+ further strengthens our commitment to interoperability and common industry standards."
Mariana Bock-Losada, Chief Growth Officer at DCSA, noted that DCSA+ aims to bring the container shipping ecosystem into the standard-setting and implementation process. "By welcoming DNV and the Veracity platform, we enhance our collective expertise in trusted data exchange and ecosystem connectivity." She added that this collaboration helps ensure standards can support integrated data integration from emissions reporting to supply chain collaboration, thereby accelerating adoption and generating quantifiable industry impact.
The DCSA+ program extends DCSA's collaborative standard-setting approach to more segments, including carriers, technology providers, shippers, freight forwarders, feeder lines, and terminal operators. Partners will receive structured implementation support, early insights into emerging standards, and opportunities to participate in designing scalable solutions.
