/ About GSTS

From Maritime Visibility to Maritime Foresight

We are are transforming complex, fragmented maritime data into intelligence that helps organizations anticipate risk, improve operations and make faster, more confident decisions.

Evolution into market leadership

We were originally founded as Global Spatial Technology Solutions (GSTS) by the team behind the world’s first commercial maritime monitoring satellites, creating one of the largest real-time global maritime data sets.

Leveraging this deep expertise in satellite technology and data analytics, we build OCIANA® which delivers advanced maritime intelligence solutions that improve surveillance, supply chain visibility, and operational decision-making worldwide.

We began by helping organizations see what was happening at sea. Today, we help them understand what may happen next, and what to do about it.

Our Core Platform: OCIANA®

OCIANA® is developed and validated in collaboration with maritime stakeholders and delivers actionable insights that help organizations improve safety, sustainability, and operational efficiency at a global scale.
