AVTM will facilitate the optimisation of vessel arrivals to berth availabilities for any location through sequence planning of all elements linked with the process.

OCIANA will gather and assess real-time data to deliver intelligence to vessels, port authorities, terminal operators and pilotage authorities.  

At present, GSTS is demonstrating and validating the AVTM capability of OCIANA with multiple users in North America.

GSTS CEO Richard Kolacz said: “We are seeing an increase in the demand for OCIANA and the vessel management capability it offers.

“As a result, our plans for commercial rollout have been accelerated. This funding from ACOA allows us to accelerate that process and continue to build the world’s most powerful maritime AI capability right here in Canada, the country with the world’s longest coastline.”
