Canadian Hydrographic Conference (CHC) 2026 (Exhibitor)
| Where: | Montréal, CA |
| When: | Apr. 27 - Apr. 30, 2026 |
As the importance of marine transportation grows and evolves, hydrography becomes increasingly crucial in ensuring safe, efficient, and sustainable navigation.
CHC2026 will bring together hydrographers, ocean mapping experts, researchers, industry leaders, and students from Canada and around the world. The conference explores the latest developments in hydrographic surveying, ocean mapping technologies, autonomous systems, data management, and marine geospatial innovation.
Meet the MacArtney team at the event
Our representatives will be available throughout the exhibition to discuss how our technologies support hydrography and ocean mapping jobs to be done:
Proven subsea connectivity that preserves data quality
- Complementary connectivity from SubConn®, TrustLink™, OptoLink™ and our trusted partners,
ensuring the right subsea interface for any application - Minimised interference and safeguarded signal integrity
- New SubConn® Micro Circular 9‑contact for accuracy‑critical sensing and telemetry
High‑reliability harnesses for real‑time survey workflows
- End‑to‑end solutions, including the latest TrustLink Data with assured 10 Gbit/s to 6,000 m depth
- High‑speed connectivity and robust power delivery so teams can stream, log and act with confidence
Sensor-agnostic platforms for clearer seabed intelligence
- Including FOCUS ROTV with integrated Kongsberg Discovery sonar suites, HISAS2020 and EM 2042,
to shorten line time while maintaining image quality for confident decision‑making
Complete acoustic and video acquisition
- From multiplexers to cameras and lights
- Dependable telemetry and visual confirmation during missions
Sensor suites for oceanographic baselines
- Among others, Sea‑Bird Scientific instruments, such as CTDs and complementary sensors
- End‑to‑end packages for calibration, water‑column profiling and data validation
Support for autonomous platforms at scale
- Connectivity and cabling solutions specified for AUV and USV payloads
Deck handling that keeps operations moving
- Complete solutions, such as ROTVs, including fit‑for‑purpose winches and LARS options
Critical Underwater Infrastructure survey and monitoring
- Solutions that support inspection and situational awareness around cables, pipelines and nodes
in hydrographic and defence contexts
Global workshops, service, and calibration
- Localised maintenance, connector terminations, sensor calibration, etc.
