MONTREAL -- September 01, 2026 -- Global Spatial Technology Solutions announced on Aug. 31, 2026 that it will change its corporate name to OCIANA, adopting the name of its flagship maritime intelligence platform. The Montreal-based company said the rebrand unifies its identity around a single product used by defense, security and maritime supply chain clients. All existing products, services and customer contact points remain unchanged under the new name.
GSTS.ca now redirects to OCIANA.com
The company's website domain, GSTS.ca, now forwards visitors to OCIANA.com. Company executives said the name change reflects internal branding only and does not alter contracts, product lines or service delivery for existing clients.
CEO Richard Kolacz frames the shift as a move from awareness to action
"This change marks a new chapter for the company, where we define ourselves by the results that maritime data enables," said Richard Kolacz, chief executive of OCIANA. "Instead of limiting ourselves to offering awareness of the maritime environment, we deliver far-reaching maritime intelligence."
OCIANA platform serves two distinct customer segments with dual-use data
For defense and security organizations, OCIANA fuses sensor data, historical patterns and real-time information into a predictive intelligence layer. The company said this allows agencies to flag behavior warranting investigation, detect threats earlier, interpret intent faster and act with confidence across maritime, air and intelligence units.
For maritime supply chain organizations, OCIANA layers real-time data, predictive insight and coordination tools on top of existing port and voyage management systems. By synchronizing vessel speed with port availability, forecasting arrivals and flagging congestion before it causes delays, the platform aims to help ports operate faster, cut emissions and improve resilience, according to the company.
Company plans deeper multi-sensor fusion and cross-agency data sharing
Looking ahead, OCIANA said it will expand AI-based maritime intelligence capabilities through deeper multi-sensor fusion, reliable intelligence workflows and increased collaboration among agencies and allied partners. The company said these additions are meant to help operators move faster from detection to coordinated action while adding transparency and explainability to AI-assisted decisions.
OCIANA targets shared real-time visibility across ports, shipping lines and pilotage
The company also plans to expand its connected maritime ecosystem for supply chain organizations, offering a unified real-time view shared among ports, shipping lines and pilotage authorities in place of coordination by phone, email and paper records. OCIANA connects to systems these organizations already use rather than replacing them, according to the company, enabling more precise berth scheduling, faster pilot bookings and requests, reliable pre-arrival notifications, coordinated voyage plans and consistent just-in-time arrivals.
