Samskip, a global logistics company, has announced its membership in the Digital Container Shipping Association Plus (DCSA+), a collaborative platform aimed at driving the digital transformation of global logistics.
This strategic move underscores Samskip’s commitment to enhancing digital connectivity across its multimodal transport services, which include rail, road, sea, and inland waterways.
This will enable enhanced compatibility, reduced communication holdups, and better transparency across the entire logistics network.
This level of clarity is particularly crucial in multimodal logistics, where seamless integration of various transportation segments is essential and can significantly impact overall efficiency, according to the company.
Samskip chief information officer Ragnar Thor Ragnarsson said: “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.”
The initiative builds upon Samskip’s recent collaboration with the SMDG, where the company aids in the development of data formats for electronic communication in the maritime sector.
These partnerships reflect Samskip’s dedication to leading innovations in both transportation and logistics operations, according to the company.
Headquartered in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, Samskip operates in more than 30 countries across Europe, North and South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia, employing approximately 1,500 individuals worldwide.
Samskip’s transportation and logistics operations primarily concentrate on European multimodal transport, integrated logistics in the North Atlantic, worldwide temperature-controlled and ambient cargo forwarding and logistics, as well as European breakbulk and project cargo movements.
