MONTREAL -- September 01, 2026 -- Global Spatial Technology Solutions (GSTS) announced on Aug. 31, 2026 that it is renaming itself OCIANA®, adopting the name of its flagship maritime intelligence platform. The Montreal-based company said the change unifies its corporate identity with the product customers already use. GSTS.ca began redirecting to OCIANA.com immediately, while products, services, and points of contact remain unchanged under the new name.
Kolacz says the company now delivers intelligence, not just awareness
"Instead of just delivering maritime domain awareness, we are delivering powerful maritime intelligence," said Richard Kolacz, Chief Executive Officer at OCIANA®. The company traces its roots to satellite-based maritime monitoring before expanding into data fusion and predictive analytics.
OCIANA splits its platform across defence and supply chain markets
For defence and security organisations, OCIANA® fuses sensor data, historical patterns, and real-time inputs to help agencies flag behaviours that warrant investigation and detect threats earlier across sea, air, and intelligence units. For maritime supply chain organisations, the platform layers real-time data and predictive insights on top of existing port and voyage management systems, synchronizing vessel speed with port readiness and forecasting arrivals to surface congestion before it causes delays.
Company plans deeper sensor fusion and cross-agency collaboration tools
OCIANA® said it will expand AI-powered capabilities through deeper multi-sensor fusion and collaboration workflows across agencies and allied partners. The stated goal is to move operators more quickly from detection to coordinated action while improving transparency and explainability in AI-assisted decision-making.
Ports, shipping lines, and pilotage authorities to share one real-time view
On the commercial side, OCIANA® plans to grow a connected maritime ecosystem linking ports, shipping lines, and pilotage authorities to a single real-time view, replacing coordination conducted by phone, email, and paper. The company said the platform connects to systems these organisations already use rather than replacing them, adding sharper berth scheduling, faster booking and pilot requests, reliable pre-arrival notifications, and consistent Just-in-Time arrivals.
