Turn maritime data into decisive operational intelligence
Transform fragmented maritime data into a shared, predictive, and human-centred operational picture with OCIANA®, our AI-enabled Advanced Maritime Domain Awareness (aMDA)solution.
Join maritime leaders using OCIANA® to navigate with certainty
From surveillance to predictiveawareness
Traditional Maritime Domain Awareness systems focus on detection and tracking. OCIANA changes the paradigm for defence and security organizations by going beyond seeing activity to understanding intent.

What makes OCIANA® different
OCIANA® offers strong data fusion, predictive analytics, and a collaborative environment.
Data Fusion
OCIANA harmonizes AIS, radar, satellite, environmental, and port-operational data into a single, authoritative operational picture for port authorities.
By resolving data gaps, inconsistencies, and timing mismatches that undermine legacy VTS and siloed port systems, OCIANA ensures every port role is working from the same trusted information.
This unified view supports safe navigation, accurate ETA prediction, congestion management, clearance verification, environmental monitoring, and evidence-ready reporting, all from one consistent source of truth.
