This will consolidate and significantly expand Seaspan’s ship repair business operations, which currently frequently turns away potential contracts due to limited facilities.

To accommodate the expansion of the facility, called the Vancouver Dry Dock, the existing small drydock would be relocated 40 metres to the south of its current position.
