HALIFAX,
NS, April 24, 2024 /CNW/ - Global Spatial
Technology Solutions ("GSTS" or "the Company") announced that
it has been awarded a contract for a Voyage Information System
(VIS) by St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation (SLSMC) and
Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway (GLS) to enhance joint
management of bi-national waterways.
GSTS will provide predictions for VIS through OCIANA®, its
proprietary, AI powered SaaS platform. OCIANA® is a cyber-secure
and scalable system which has been developed in collaboration with,
and is used by, ports, shipping lines, pilotage authorities, civil
agencies and border security organisations.
At the heart of OCIANA's offering is robust, predictive data
analytics, powered by novel AI algorithms. OCIANA's data
integration framework will assimilate critical information from the
Seaway Traffic Management System and GSTS data streams into a
predictability model to accurately forecast vessel ETAs, thus
providing improved management of voyages and eventually optimizing
lockage schedules.
OCIANA® is a flexible platform designed to incorporate the
intricate Locks System Rules, ensuring that all vessel movements
adhere to safety and operational guidelines. While focusing on a
specific segment of the St.
Lawrence, vessel management is impacted by dynamic events
stretching from the Atlantic approaches to the Great Lakes. The
dynamic Lock Schedule Engine leverages various inputs, employing
advanced algorithms to manage vessel traffic and schedule lockage,
thus enhancing throughput and reducing delays. Through this
innovation, OCIANA® will be well positioned to offer superior
optimization capability to all major waterways.
"This project will demonstrate OCIANA's capability to provide
unparalleled planning and optimization in a highly dynamic
environment impacted by multiple geographic, operational and
environmental factors," said Richard
Kolacz, Chief Executive Officer, GSTS. "This award continues
to illustrate the versatility of OCIANA® in facilitating
enhancements to maritime safety, security and supply chain
resilience globally."
The Great Lakes Seaway system serves as a key supply chain,
moving $66B in goods and supporting
356,000 jobs. Optimizing the flow of goods, in a highly dynamic
marine trade environment, is crucial to the economies of
Canada and the United States.
OCIANA® is configured to adapt to the evolving demands of
maritime traffic management, with provisions for incorporating
additional data sources and enhancing the Predictability Engine
with emerging technologies such as weather machine learning models.
GSTS continues to expand its offering to maritime and logistics
stakeholders further enhancing its leading position in maritime
digitalization and innovation.
