GSTS, Port of Montreal to establish Green Shipping Corridor capability

Maritime intelligence company, Global Spatial

using the firm’s OCIANA platform.

The green shipping corridor capability enables vessels to establish an

initially low and ultimately zero-carbon emissions route while matching their

arrival with berth availability and maintaining compliance.

OCIANA is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform that provides maritime

vessel and port optimisation and maritime risk management solutions for the

global maritime market.

The 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 on all of the world’s

waterways.

“OCIANA has been designed collaboratively with ports, shipping lines and

terminal operators to improve efficiency, minimise risk and reduce emissions on

a global scale”, said Richard Kolacz, GSTS CEO.

“This proprietary capability will enhance end-to-end logistics management

and enable the optimisation of goods delivered by sea, which accounts for 90 per

cent of global trade.”

“We have been working with GSTS to ensure that the capabilities they

develop meet the needs and objectives of ports and shipping lines,” stated

Martin Imbleau, President and CEO of the MPA.

This announcement comes shortly after the Port of Montreal announced that

it will earmark more than CA$335 million ($247 million) in its new five-year

investment plan for its infrastructure on the Island of Montreal.
