History

OCIANA® began as Global Spatial Technology Solutions (GSTS), formed to combine satellite-based maritime surveillance with artificial intelligence and big data analytics in response to growing maritime security and climate concerns. The company supports defence and security customers in Canada, NATO and Five Eyes nations, as well as ports, carriers and shipping companies worldwide.

Philosophy

We believe better maritime decisions start with a shared, trusted picture of what is happening at sea and in port. OCIANA® is designed to help save lives, energy and the environment by turning complex ocean, vessel, weather and port data into clear, timely intelligence. We build technology that works alongside the systems our customers already use, and we keep professionals in control: AI powers the intelligence, while operational and commercial decisions stay with people. By connecting ports, carriers and pilotage authorities on one real-time, auditable platform, we aim to build trust between organizations, reduce idle time and emissions, and support the industry’s move toward Green Shipping Corridors and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

For ports and cruise destinations, OCIANA® improves turnaround times, reduces time at anchorage, improves schedule reliability and supports compliance with environmental regulations through predictive port arrivals, data-driven dashboards, congestion and bottleneck mitigation, early warning and security analytics, emissions management, JIT arrivals and port call optimization. For shipping companies, OCIANA® Ships connects fleet, vessel and voyage information with independent AI-powered prediction to show which voyages need attention, why arrival expectations are changing and what to investigate next, through fleet operational awareness, predictive ETA intelligence, enhanced vessel and voyage tracking, dynamic voyage reporting, port call readiness, and alerts and operational exceptions.
