DCSA releases new version of its Track & Trace Interface Standard

The non-profit group founded by major ocean carriers to digitise and standardise the container shipping industry, Digital Container Shipping Association (DCSA) has released the 2.2 version of its Track & Track Interface Standard for customer-facing events, with new subscription capability and enhanced security.

The Track & Trace Interface Standard 2.2 includes the Subscription Callback application programming interface (API), which allows shippers and consignees to receive automatic updates of shipment events from carriers.

Both API definitions and reference implementation have been updated. The first ones can be downloaded from SwaggerHub and the new reference implementation is available on the software company GitHub.

Furthermore, the new version owns more efficient data inquiry and handling, including support for document events such as cargo survey, customs inspection, verified gross mass, dangerous goods declaration, and out of gauge declaration.

In addition, the newly released version has enhanced security with subscription – ID and notification – signature headers.

With the mission of leading the industry towards systematic collaboration, DCSA drives initiatives to make container transportation services transparent, reliable, easy to use, secure and environmentally friendly.

DCSA members include some of the largest carriers in the world, such as Maersk, MSC CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd, ONE, Evergreen, Yang Ming, HMM and ZIM.
