New Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ships

Steel cutting officially started yesterday at Irving Shipbuilding Inc for the first of two new Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ships. 🚢

These versatile ships are equipped to support fisheries enforcement and surveillance missions on Canada's east coast, as well as offshore search and rescue and icebreaking operations in Arctic and southern waters. They will also be able to support other missions including environmental response, aids to navigation maintenance, scientific research and humanitarian aid.

Renewing our fleet ensures that our personnel can continue to carry out their critical work, while enhancing our capability to support vital operations.
