09:17 AM EDT, 06/30/2025 (MT Newswires) -- MDA Space ( MDALF ) , a mission partner to the global space industry, on Monday said its contract with Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) to provide maritime satellite surveillance data and analytics services for dark vessel detection had been extended.

The amended contract, which extends the original agreement announced in 2023, aligns with commitments outlined in the recent G7 Foreign Ministers' Declaration on Maritime Security and Prosperity, reinforcing Canada's leadership in promoting "safe, secure and sustainable maritime operations," the company said.

"With the growing sophistication of illegal maritime activities, next-generation space-based technology like MDA CHORUS will be essential to ensuring continuity of this capability in priority coverage areas of high interest," said MDA Space's ( MDALF ) Chief Executive Mike Greenley.
