On the water and around the world, COVE propels Canada's marine innovation. COVE is where ideas become solutions, technologies become ventures, and opportunities become careers. We connect people, ideas, resources and assets to propel solutions and sustainable growth for Canada's marine sector. Our facilities, spanning 51,000 square meters along the waterfront in Canada's deepest harbour, provide the best space in the world to turn ideas into commercial solutions. Ocean technology companies, post-secondary researchers, and marine-based service businesses come to COVE for programming and short- and long-term tenancies. Our facility features offices, shared workspaces, social and community spaces, and workshops equipped with electrical capabilities, all designed to foster a dynamic ecosystem. Here, small and medium-sized enterprises, along with development teams from larger corporations, converge to form a collaborative commercial community. COVE's marine terminal offers excellent vessel accommodation with water depths ranging from 4 to 15 meters and crane access up to 200 tons. The site includes floating docks, wharf face, and finger piers, with year-round access to utilities and secure parking. It also provides easy connections to the community and amenities, along with 2 acres for operational and storage needs. COVE demonstrates its commitment to environmental stewardship with dedicated charging points for electric-powered vessels.
