MSC container ship at sea

MSC's Booking API Is Still Coming. Your Integration Shouldn't Wait for It

Connect CargoWise to MSC's Integration Suite, so schedules, tracking, VGM submissions, and shipping instructions sync automatically today, structured to pick up booking and bill of lading APIs the moment MSC's DCSA rollout reaches them.

Book a Call

MSC's DCSA adoption is real, just not finished yet

MSC confirmed its adoption of the DCSA Commercial Schedules API, giving customers standardized, real-time access to point-to-point routings, vessel schedules, and port schedules instead of manually checking MSC's website or juggling carrier-specific formats. That's a genuine step toward the same interoperability Maersk and other major carriers have built around. But it's a partial rollout, MSC has fully adopted the point-to-point endpoint specifically, with vessel schedule and port schedule endpoints still in development, and DCSA-standard APIs for bookings and bills of lading are on MSC's roadmap, not live yet.

In the meantime, MSC's actual connected offering runs through what it calls the Integration Suite, Track & Trace, Booking, Shipping Instructions, and VGM submission, tying together into what MSC positions as a single digital flow. Access to MSC's Developer Portal itself is gated behind a sales conversation rather than open self-service, and fees may apply depending on your relationship and region. Building your integration around what's genuinely available now, while structured for what DCSA brings later, avoids both under-delivering today and rebuilding tomorrow.

MSC shipping containers and port operations collage

MSC API and integration products we connect into CargoWise

01

Live Routing Data

Point-to-point vessel routing syncs into CargoWise, MSC's fully adopted DCSA schedule endpoint.

02

In Development at MSC

We track MSC's rollout and connect these endpoints as they reach general availability.

03

DCSA v1.2 / v2.2

Container and shipment milestones sync into CargoWise through MSC's Track & Trace API.

04

Integration Suite

Bookings and shipping instructions submit through MSC's connected digital flow.

05

Automated Confirmations

Verified Gross Mass data submits directly, with confirmations flowing back into CargoWise.

06

Roadmap Item

DCSA-standard BoL APIs are planned by MSC, not yet live, we'll connect this the moment it launches.

What changes once CargoWise and MSC are actually connected?

Without Integration

  • Schedules checked manually on MSC's website or third-party sites
  • Tracking pulled one shipment at a time through the public tracker
  • VGM and shipping instructions submitted through a separate portal
  • no visibility into MSC's API roadmap for bookings or BoLs
  • a generic connector unaware of what's live vs. in development

With CargoWise MSC Integration

  • Point-to-point routing data syncs directly via DCSA API
  • Milestones sync automatically through Track & Trace
  • Submissions flow through CargoWise as part of the same workflow
  • Integration structured to pick up new DCSA endpoints as MSC releases them
  • a build that reflects exactly what MSC currently supports, and what's coming

Here is our complete CargoWise MSC Integration process flow

01

Discovery & Analysis

We confirm which parts of MSC's Integration Suite your operations need, schedules, tracking, VGM, shipping instructions, and initiate the sales conversation MSC requires for API access.

02

Data Mapping

We map CargoWise fields to MSC's DCSA Commercial Schedules structure and Track & Trace data model, distinguishing live endpoints from those still in development.

03

Build & Configure

We connect CargoWise to MSC's Developer Portal APIs and broader Integration Suite, configuring point-to-point schedule sync, tracking, and VGM submission.

04

Testing Against Real Shipments

We test schedule retrieval, milestone tracking, and VGM submission against real MSC shipments, confirming data flows correctly before go-live.

05

Go-Live & Hypercare

Controlled cut-over with close monitoring through your first live cycle of MSC schedule and tracking data.

06

Monitor, Support & Train

Ongoing monitoring of MSC's API rollout, adding booking and bill of lading connectivity the moment those DCSA endpoints reach general availability.

What CargoWise MSC Integration delivers?

01

Live Routing Without Manual Lookups

Point-to-point schedule data syncs directly through MSC's adopted DCSA endpoint, no more checking MSC's site by hand.

02

Tracking That Updates on Its Own

Track & Trace milestones flow into CargoWise automatically, reducing reliance on the public tracker's shipment-by-shipment lookup.

03

VGM and Shipping Instructions in One Flow

Submissions and confirmations run through the same connected workflow MSC's Integration Suite is built around.

04

Ready for MSC's Next DCSA Release

Because the mapping already reflects MSC's roadmap, adding booking or BoL connectivity later is a configuration update, not a new project.

Happy to Assist You with Anything

Not yet. MSC has publicly stated plans to roll out DCSA-standard APIs for bookings and bills of lading, but as of now, MSC's fully adopted DCSA endpoint is the point-to-point schedules API specifically, with booking handled through MSC's broader Integration Suite rather than a dedicated DCSA booking API.

Yes. Unlike some carriers offering pure self-service registration, MSC's Developer Portal access is gated behind a sales conversation, and fees may apply depending on your account and region.

The public tracker at msc.com is open to anyone, no login required, searchable by container, B/L, or booking number, but it's a manual, one-shipment-at-a-time lookup. The Track & Trace API, built on DCSA v1.2/v2.2, syncs that same milestone data automatically into your systems.

MSC has fully adopted the point-to-point endpoint of the Commercial Schedules API. The vessel schedule and port schedule endpoints were still in development as MSC continued its rollout.

We're tracking MSC's DCSA rollout directly, so when those endpoints reach general availability, we extend your existing integration to cover them, rather than starting a new build from scratch.

We track exactly what MSC's DCSA rollout currently supports versus what's still in development, so your integration reflects reality today and extends automatically as new endpoints go live.
