DNV joins DCSA+ to strengthen trusted data exchange in container shipping in International Shipping News 10/06/2026 The Digital Container Shipping Association (DCSA) today announced that DNV has joined its DCSA+ partnership programme, bringing its Veracity data platform to the effort to build and support a trusted maritime data ecosystem across global container shipping. Veracity is a cloud-based data platform, developed by classification society and technology provider DNV, which enables stakeholders across the maritime value chain to securely share and reuse verified emissions and operational data. With the possibility to connect to majority of the world fleet and over 90 data and solutions partners globally, Veracity supports a broad ecosystem that connects shipowners, charterers, ports, solution providers, and other stakeholders through standardised data flows. Through DCSA+, Veracity will support the development and implementation of shared industry standards aimed at improving interoperability and enabling more seamless data exchange across stakeholders. The collaboration reflects a shared commitment to strengthening trust, connectivity and consistency in maritime data. The challenge of fragmented, non-standardised data is often most prominent where information must move between multiple stakeholders and systems, especially in emissions reporting and wider supply chain collaboration. Operational data is too often manually processed or interpreted differently between parties, leading to inefficiencies, delays, and distrust. As emissions data becomes increasingly tied to commercial transactions and regulatory obligations, the need for transparent, standardised data exchange has never been more critical. A key focus for DNV is building a more connected ecosystem. One that enables interoperability, automation, transparency, and the reuse of data across the maritime value chain. This work aligns with DNV’s 2030 strategy, which places strong emphasis on combining di
