As ports and shipping companies navigate increasing congestion and tighter schedules, predictability in port arrivals has become a critical operational advantage. In this webinar, Global Spatial Technology Solutions (GSTS) explores how AI-driven predictive insights, through its OCIANA® platform, are improving port call planning.
The discussion examines digital maturity across ports and shipping, the limitations of traditional ETA information, and why advanced arrival awareness matters for both port and vessel operators. Joined by the Montréal Port Authority and the Laurentian Pilotage Authority, the conversation highlights real-world applications of predictive ETA, intelligent geofencing, and multi-stop arrival planning—demonstrating how these capabilities enhance navigation, coordination, and ship-to-shore and landside operations.
