Halifax Shipyard to build Arctic and offshore patrol duo for the Canadian Coast Guard

Irving Shipbuilding said that in response to Government of Canada’s announcement, the company will build two Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ships for the Canadian Coast Guard:

Halifax Shipyard was selected to build the two ice-capable, multi-purpose Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ships that will increase the Coast Guard fleet’s capability and capacity and enhance its important work in the Arctic.

Halifax Shipyard believes the construction of two additional Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ships for the Coast Guard along with continuous Halifax-class maintenance work will ensure steady workload at the yard leading up to construction of the Canadian Surface Combatants in 2023.
