New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

[GR66]

Foreshadowing....?

Wishful thinking?

I generally a fan of Seaspan, but I think they are stretching the truth on the CCG vessels they built are "Ice breakers" Perhaps ice strengthened.

In the midst of designing and building 21 icebreaker vessels, Seaspan Shipyards welcomes the formation of the “ICE Pact” - Seaspan

July 11, 2024 – North Vancouver, BC – Seaspan Shipyards welcomes the formation of the Icebreaker Collaboration Effort (ICE Pact), the trilateral partnership between Canada, Finland and the United States, designed to enhance collaboration on building best-in-class Arctic and polar icebreakers as...

I like how they have a red painted 60R on the flight deck….

Yea, just like the AOPS program, when the RCAF buys MH-60s to replace the Cyclones, they'll by a couple for the CCG as well.

Right?

Polar Class 4 is an icebreaker if the Coast Guard considers the ones Davie are building icebreakers which are equivalent.

Isnt Davie building 1 Polar Icebreaker PC2 and 6 Medium Icebreakers PC3?

edit

and the MPV's from Seaspan are PC4(like you said) so more than the AOPS?

In the end a modern fleet of

2 PC2 Polar Icebreakers
6 PC3 Medium Icebreakers
15 PC4 MPV
8 PC4/5 AOPS

They edited their release. Previously it said they had already delivered 3 ice breakers and working on a fourth. I think some newbie PR person equated CCG vessel with "ice breaker" and after publication the error was pointed out to them.

Much more powerful I notice than the older tugs. That's nice to see, means they will be more use in worse weather, and they'll easily be able to handle JSS and CSC.

I feel old, I remember when the current tugs came into service to replace the Ville Class tugs.

They also come with better response to fires; no foam but they'll have two large capacity fire monitors that should have enough reach for bigger ships like JSS or some of the large cargo carriers coming into Halifax for cooling the hull.
