Seaspan will deliver a third OFSV to the Coast Guard-
the future John Cabot- in summer 2020.
With the start of construction on JSS, Seaspan is leading the way in rebuilding Canada's shipbuilding industry.
Seaspan Shipyards CEO Mark Lamarre said:“At Seaspan,
we know that building ships requires you to build more than ships.
Equipment that Hawboldt has developed for Seaspan's NSS projects like the JSS is being marketed
and sold around the world.”.
With the start of construction on JSS, Seaspan will ensure that continuous production is
realized on its work as Canada's non-combat shipbuilder.
Seaspan Shipyards is currently two years behind schedule
to deliver the CCGS Sir John Franklin but are still aiming for a June delivery.
In addition, Seaspan's work on JSS will leverage its broader Canadian supply
chain and support the continued growth of Canada's shipbuilding and marine industries.
Seaspan Shipyards and the Government of Canada have announced that work will begin
soon on the Joint Support Ships for the Royal Canadian Navy.
We value Seaspan's commitment to the Canadian supply chain as it provides
a boost to Canadian companies like Hawboldt, who leverage these domestic sales into strong international exports.
Canada's shipbuilding and ship repair company Seaspan Shipyards(Seaspan), joined by
representatives from industry and government, celebrated the start of construction on the first Joint Support Ship(JSS) for the Royal Canadian Navy(RCN).
Under the NSS, Seaspan has helped to rebuild a marine industrial sector,
creating thousands of jobs, leveraging a supply chain of more than 600 suppliers and generating more than $1 billion in economic activity across Canada.
