Global Spatial Technology Solutions (GSTS) has recently secured a contract with the Saint Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation (SLSMC) and the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway System to implement an innovative Voyage Information System (VIS). Through their proprietary SaaS platform called OCIANA®, GSTS will provide predictive insights to optimize the management of bi-national waterways.
Unlike traditional systems, OCIANA® leverages artificial intelligence to deliver accurate ship arrival predictions. By integrating essential data from maritime traffic management systems and GSTS data streams, the platform’s predictive modeling capabilities improve crossing management and potentially optimize lock schedules.
The flexibility of OCIANA® lies in its ability to adapt to the complex rules of the lock system, ensuring all vessel movements comply with safety and operational guidelines. Although initially focused on a specific segment of the Saint Lawrence River, the management of vessels is influenced by dynamic events that extend from the Atlantic shores to the Great Lakes. With its dynamic lock scheduling engine powered by advanced algorithms, OCIANA® efficiently manages maritime traffic and reduces delays. This innovation positions OCIANA® as a leading optimization tool for major waterways.
GSTS CEO, Richard Kolacz, commented on the project’s potential: “OCIANA’s ability to provide unparalleled planning and optimization in a highly dynamic environment influenced by multiple geographic, operational, and environmental factors will be demonstrated through this project. This award further illustrates the versatility of OCIANA® in enhancing the safety, security, and resilience of the global maritime supply chain.”
The Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway System plays a vital role in the transportation of goods, moving $66 billion worth of goods and supporting 356,000 jobs. Optimizing the flow of goods in such a dynamic maritime environment is crucial for the economies of Canada and the United States.
OCIANA® is designed to adapt to evolving maritime traffic management requirements, with provisions to integrate additional data sources and enhance its predictive engine using emerging technologies like machine learning models for weather conditions. GSTS continues to expand its solutions to maritime and logistics stakeholders, solidifying its leadership position in maritime digitization and innovation.
