OCIANA Completes Key Port Call Platform Validation Phase

Montreal – November 03, 2026 -- OCIANA has completed a key phase of Operational Validation Testing (OVT) for its unified port call platform, with four Canadian maritime partners confirming that ship operators and port stakeholders can schedule vessel arrivals on a single real-time system instead of email, phone and spreadsheets.

OVT continues at a pace set by each partner's operational priorities. The project ran in partnership with Canada's Ocean Supercluster through its Core Technology Leadership Program.

Four Canadian partners built core scheduling capabilities with OCIANA

Canada Steamship Lines (CSL), the Montreal Port Authority, the St. Lawrence Pilotage Authority and Clear Seas worked with OCIANA's technology team on the scheduling functions. The stated goal is Just-in-Time (JIT) arrivals, which are intended to cut vessel fuel use and emissions.
