Samskip Joins DCSA+ To Help Shape the Digital Future of Logistics
12 August 2025
In today’s fast-moving world, where supply chains stretch across continents and depend on trust and timing, staying connected isn’t a luxury, it’s essential. That’s why Samskip has taken a bold and exciting step forward: we’ve joined DCSA+, a collaborative initiative driving the digital transformation of global logistics.
For us, this isn’t just about standards or software. It’s about our deep belief for progress in building systems that work better for people, for businesses, and for the future of multimodal transport.
Our network has always stood for the seamless integration of rail, road, sea, and inland water all connected through one seamless journey. But that journey becomes even stronger when the digital connections mirror the physical ones. That’s what DCSA+ offers: a shared space where logistics companies, ports, technology providers, and carriers come together to speak the same digital language, and Samskip is proud to be a voice in that conversation.
Ragnar Thor Ragnarsson, our Chief Information Officer, puts it best:
“Joining DCSA+ gives us a seat at the heart of digital transformation in our industry. It’s about building solutions that are reliable, scalable, and aligned with the real needs of our customers.”
Through this partnership, Samskip will gain early access to cutting-edge standards, but we will also have the opportunity to help shape them as well. That means smarter interoperability, fewer communication delays, and improved visibility throughout the supply chain. Especially in multimodal logistics, where coordination between different transport legs is critical, this kind of clarity can make all the difference.
This move builds on the momentum of our recent partnership with SMDG, where we help develop and maintain data formats that simplify electronic communication across the maritime industry. Together, these partnerships reflect Samskip’s commitment to leading the way both in transportation, and in the future of how logistics works.
Because when data flows smoothly, cargo follows.
And when the system works better, our customers feel it in speed, reliability, and peace of mind.
