Global Spatial Technology Solutions (GSTS), a maritime intelligence company, announced the collaboration with the Montreal Port Authority (MPA) in order to provide a Green Shipping Corridor capability using the OCIANA™ platform.
OCIANA™ is an artificial intelligence (AI) platform that provides maritime vessel and port optimisation and maritime risk management solutions for the global maritime market.
Moreover, the AI platform ingests a wide range of operational and oceanographic data sets and through proprietary analysis, supports decision-making related to the safe and efficient movement of people and goods worldwide.
The Green Shipping Corridor can give vessels the capability to establish an initially low and ultimately zero-carbon emissions route while matching their arrival with berth availability and maintaining compliance, according to a statement.
“As an original OCIANA™ consortium member, MPA has proven to be a leader in Innovation and Environmental stewardship. OCIANA™ has been designed collaboratively with ports, shipping lines and terminal operators to improve efficiency, minimize risk and reduce emissions on a global scale,” commented Richard Kolacz, CEO of GSTS.
“This proprietary capability will enhance end-to-end logistics management and enable the optimization of goods delivered by sea, which accounts for 90% of global trade,” he added.
