Datifex, a 2026 NATO DIANA Innovator cohort member, has signed a Managed Service Agreement with the Halifax Port Authority (HPA) to bring OneHarbour\u2122 to Port Halifax.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Operations Centre (OPCEN) at the HPA runs one of Canada’s busiest harbours around the clock, juggling vessel traffic, berth scheduling, environmental conditions, and safety events across many systems. OneHarbour cuts through that complexity \u2014 built on Datifex’s DATIVerse 3D\u2122, it unifies the harbour’s operational picture into a single browser-based interactive 3D environment, accessible from anywhere and on any device, in real time.<\/p>\n

Beyond supporting commercial operations, OneHarbour delivers automated alerts for potential vessel collisions, unauthorized movements, restricted-zone incursions, High Air Draft Vessel (HADV) bridge clearance risks, and hazardous weather. It also integrates data from Automatic Identification System (AIS) transponders, computer vision, and radar into unified vessel tracks, improving detection of smaller vessels without AIS and helping close a longstanding gap in maritime situational awareness.<\/p>\n

As a member of the Port of Halifax’s living lab, The PIER, Datifex was able to test OneHarbour’s capabilities at the HPA in an operating port environment, working directly with HPA and leading to the adoption of the technology.<\/p>\n

Backed by NATO DIANA, Datifex is fast-tracking OneHarbour for conflict-affected harbours beyond Canada. The company is proving that capability at the Digital Ocean Lab, Fraunhofer IGD in Rostock, Germany \u2014 a strategic Baltic hub where maritime awareness is an urgent NATO priority. Fuelled by live Baltic sensor feeds \u2014 including AIS, radar, subsea sensors, and computer vision \u2014 and enhanced with low-compute SLM AI, the trial is demonstrating OneHarbour’s ability to deliver real-time, mission-critical awareness. The program will conclude with a demonstration for the German Navy and Baltic Maritime Command (MARCOM), underscoring the platform’s value for defence and maritime security operations in the Baltic theatre.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes as the H2O: Home to Overseas Conference took place in Halifax. Corey Kirkhus, Director of Business Development and Product at Datifex, Corey Gleason, Deputy Harbour Master and Director of ITS at the Halifax Port Authority, and Kristjan Kask, Client Systems Administrator at Cybernetica, joined the conference’s Marine Domain Awareness main stage panel, moderated by Christine Hanson, Regional Director, North America, NATO DIANA.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis agreement with the Halifax Port Authority (HPA) is a major milestone for Datifex and OneHarbour. HPA has played a critical role shaping the platform in a real-world operating environment. We are especially grateful to Deputy Harbour Master, Cdr ret’d Corey Gleason, whose partnership and leadership have been instrumental to OneHarbour’s development and its future across commercial and defence applications.\u201d Chris Erickson, CEO, Datifex.
\n\u200d
\n\u201cOneHarbour has given our OPCEN a level of situational awareness that wasn’t possible before \u2014 and the capabilities it brings to harbour management are insightful, timely and accurate. This Agreement is an example of how The PIER and its members contribute to strengthening supply chain efficiency \u2014 by testing, demonstrating and adopting technologies in the Port of Halifax.\u201d David Thomas, Executive Director, The PIER at the Halifax Port Authority\u200d.<\/p>\n
