MarsKeel Technology is heading east. From October 6 to 8, 2026, Company President Kevin Milne and Bill Souter, Custom Keel Sales & Design, will be at DEFSEC Atlantic at the Halifax Convention Centre.
MarsKeel is proud to join one of Canada's largest networking events for the aerospace, defence, and security industries as a certified defence manufacturing partner. If you're part of the supply chain for major Canadian Armed Forces procurements, this is your chance to meet the team behind the ballast.
MarsKeel engineers and manufactures marine ballast weights and specialized keel systems for navy vessels, commercial ships, performance yachts, and autonomous watercraft.
Every ballast weight is custom-cast to exact specs, from 20 lbs to over 150,000 lbs in a single pour.
We design, engineer, and manufacture the fittings and internal weldments cast into ballast so it moves, installs, and stays exactly where it belongs. Certified welders and weld inspection come standard.
ISO 9001 certified. CSA N299.3-16 certified.
Registered with the Controlled Goods Program.
If your program needs custom lead casting, precision-machined ballast, or a supplier who already understands defence documentation requirements, set up a time with us in Halifax.
