Take a behind-the-scenes tour of Seaspan Ferries with Ahmed Khan, Project Manager to learn more about what makes our dual-fuel hybrid fleet run.

Thanks for stopping by, @BrentRichter! It was our pleasure to have you hop onboard the HaiSea Wamis. We still get excited to show it off.. new tugboat smell and all.

Currently one of the most interesting vehicles on the North Shore, and I got to climb aboard this week

Seaspan was proud to participate in @SquamishNation's #SquamishStrong campaign, by recording ourselves saying wa iy̓ím ta Sḵwx̱wú7mesh in Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Sníchim (Squamish language) as part of the 100-year anniversary of the Amalgamation of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw.

It was so hard to pick a winner!! Thanks for the opportunity to take part in this contest, @NorthShoreNews

[Seaspan @Seaspan]

We were thrilled to take part in @NorthShoreNews 'Let the Kids Design the Ads' contest, where students in gr. 4-6 had the chance to submit artwork for local businesses. We received many creative ads from Eastview Elementary - what do you think of the winning ad, @CoastGuardCAN?

Building big ships takes a big team. Community reporter @MrMichaelNewman visits the Seaspan Vancouver Shipyard to learn about building the Royal Canadian Navy’s Joint Support Ships.

[Seaspan @Seaspan]

Ed needn't have been nervous, he did a fantastic job last night at the @IPSSevent! He is an incredibly valued member of the team here at Seaspan - we were happy to profile him in a video which also highlighted HaiSea Marine, a partnership between @Haisla_Nation and Seaspan.

Seaspan Shipyards has cut steel on a ‘Prototype block’ setting a course for building the flagship vessel of the @CoastGuardCAN' s icebreaking fleet - the first heavy Polar Icebreaker built in Canada 🇨🇦 in 60+ years.

Good day at the office. @Seaspan

[Seaspan @Seaspan]

We had some *very* special guests at Vancouver Drydock earlier this week. @scoutscanada's Local 21 Capilano Beaver Scouts got a guided tour of our drydock + a @BCFerries vessel. With how excited they all were, there might have been a few future Seaspan employees in the group 👨‍🏭👷‍♀️

“We are often told that tugboats are no place for women.” 

That outdated sentiment is why we recently held a ‘Women in Marine’ open house & networking event, w/ partners @BCFerries @bcit @WesternMaritime, designed to support, inspire and encourage diversity - at sea & on shore.

[Seaspan @Seaspan]

.@NorthShoreNews was on hand at our 'Women in Marine' open house last week, where they spoke with two of our female Seaspan Marine employees and took a shot at trying out our state-of-the-art tugboat simulator 👇

[Bowinn Ma @BowinnMa]

Wow, there's a lot going on at @Seaspan Shipyards in #NorthVan! Really appreciated the opportunity to give a (very rambly) talk to their diverse workforce for #InternationalWomensDay and receive an updated tour of the incredible work they're doing on the shipbuilding front.

[Seaspan @Seaspan]

Somebody call 📞 @JohnStamos because we've got a Full House!

There are 🚫no vacancies🚫 at Vancouver Drydock, who are having a very busy start to the year in #northvan. Everybody is coming in for their post-holiday touch-ups...

@CoastGuardCAN @BCFerries

[Seaspan @Seaspan]

We’ve said it before but we’ll say it again. The Joint Support Ship is loooooooooong. And after a recent block move, the hull is now at its full length under the hard stand! At 173.7m, the @RoyalCanNavy 's future #HMCSProtecteur is the longest naval vessel ever to be built in 🇨🇦.

[Seaspan @Seaspan]

From announcing new Indigenous partnerships, to growing our sustainability efforts, to making incredible progress on the ships we’re building under the #NationalShipbuildingStrategy, 2022 was a year to remember. Look at some of our top stories from 2022 👇

“I could not be prouder of this group & prouder of the progress that we are making on building ships for Canada”

Watch our OOSV keel laying video to hear about the significance of this milestone, for Seaspan & Canada🇨🇦, from @JoyceMurray, @CoastGuardCan and our leadership team.

[Seaspan @Seaspan]

Today at Vancouver Shipyards, we hosted a ceremonial keel laying for the @CoastGuardCAN's Offshore Oceanographic Science Vessel, marking a historic milestone in the construction of Canada’s 🍁 most modern science research ship.
