Construction Begins on Made-In-Canada Polar Icebreaker! 🇨🇦
Today, Seaspan is proud to share that we have cut steel on the Canadian Coast Guard's new heavy Polar Icebreaker, the most complex and capable ship in their fleet.
Today, we were awarded the build contract for 1 of the @CoastGuardCAN's new heavy polar icebreakers. As the only Canadian shipyard with the expertise, facilities, & domestic supply-chain to build polar icebreakers here at home, this ship will be built entirely in 🇨🇦 at Seaspan.
Seaspan is proud to be a sponsor of this week's @WiDS_Canada Annual Awards Breakfast. Now in its 20th year, WiDS recognizes and celebrates the unwavering dedication and leadership of women within the defence and security industry.
Congratulations to all of the 2025 nominees👏
We’re building Canadaʼs future one vessel at a time — faster, and more efficiently with each ship.
The Polar Icebreaker—custom-built to support @CoastGuardCan and strengthen our nation’s security & scientific strength— will be a seachange for Canada & its shipbuilding industry.
Seaspan is pleased to share that we have successfully completed the first ship-to-ship #LNG bunkering in Canada 🇨🇦, which took place in the Port of Vancouver in the Upper Harbour. The ship-to-ship LNG bunkering to a tanker at anchor was performed by the Seaspan Lions.
Two generating units are in operation at Site C, providing power to BC Hydro customers across the province. Commissioning is underway for the third unit.
When fully in-service, Site C will produce enough electricity to power nearly 500,000 new homes.
