Thunder Bay will be helping to build a polar ice breaker for the Canadian Coast Guard.
Hamilton based Heddle shipyards spokesperson Ted Kirkpatrick tells us the type of ship was announced last week by the federal government, although work has not started yet locally.
“From a logistical point of view, Thunder Bay makes a lot of sense, to fabricate and ship larger modules and components,” says Kirkpatrick.
Sections of the ship will be built in different cities nationwide. “There’s still a lot of work to be done in terms of the design of the vessel, and understanding what facility is going to build what, and what makes the most sense. Thunder Bay will be contributing to it.”
THUNDER BAY – A Thunder Bay shipyard will have a hand in building the new flagship vessel in the Canadian Coast Guard’s icebreaking fleet, with the project expected to create local jobs.
The federal government announced details Thursday of plans to purchase two new heavy ice breakers for the coast guard’s Arctic operations, expanding the capabilities of its aging fleet.
The flagship polar icebreaker, already designated as the CCGS
John G. Diefenbaker, will be built by Vancouver-based Seaspan, the government announced. When completed, it will be the largest ship in the coast guard’s fleet, expected to cost well over $1 billion.
