The National Shipbuilding Strategy
 To build Canada’s large vessels fleet, the Government, (Public Services and
Procurement Canada) established long-term strategic relationships with 3
Canadian shipyards:
 Irving Shipbuilding Inc., based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, is building combat
vessels for the Royal Canadian Navy
 Seaspan’s Vancouver Shipyards Co. Ltd., is building non-combat vessels for the
Canadian Coast Guard
 Davie Canada based in Quebec city, just delivered in December the biggest
sailing ship in the Royal Canadian Navy., will be building 4 Ice Breaker

15.
Canadian Surface Combatant
 These vessels will:
 be capable of meeting multiple threats in both open oceans and
complex coastal environments
 ensure that Canada continues to:
 monitor and defend its waters
 contribute significantly to international naval operations
 replace the Royal Canadian Navy's Iroquois-class destroyers and
Halifax-class frigates
 Project status: Competitive solicitation to select the warship design and
design team
 Number of vessels to be built: 15
 Built at: Irving Shipbuilding Inc.
 Built for: Royal Canadian Navy
 Project budget: Under review
 Build contract to be awarded: Early 2020s

16.
Andy Smith Testimony and Schedule
This schedule is based on the following testimony made by Mr. Andy Smith, Deputy Commissioner, Strategy and Shipbuilding, Department of Fisheries and Oceans before the House of
Commons Fisheries and Oceans Committee on the 7th November 2017:
“The dates are certainly able to be provided. I will say that the very first OFSV will be delivered in 2018, the second one in 2019, and the third one in the 2020-21 time frame. That’s in
accordance with the latest schedule that VSY has produced. The OOSV will follow that. We’re still in the design phase for the OOSV. That will take some time. Between the delivery of the
OOSV and the delivery of the polar, there are the two naval resupply ships in there. The polar class icebreaker will follow the delivery of the second joint support ship.”

17.
Offshore Oceanographic Science Vessel
 Seaspan’s Vancouver Shipyards Co. Ltd., is building:
 non-combat vessels for the Canadian Coast Guard
 This vessel will:
 be capable of multi-tasking oceanographic, fishery, geological and
hydrographic survey missions
 contribute directly to our understanding of the oceans and the impacts
of climate change
 be outfitted for scientific research on ocean currents and on the seabed
 Project at a glance
 Project status: Definition phase
 Number of vessels to be built: 3
 Built at: Seaspan’s Vancouver Shipyards Co. Ltd.
 Project budget: Under review

Arctic year-round
 be able to consistently operate farther north, in more
difficult ice conditions and for longer periods than any
icebreaker we currently have

 Ferries are operated across the country and are not limited
to provinces and territories with large lakes or lengths of
shoreline.
 Ferries are an integral part of the transportation system
for many coastal cities and islands across the country, with
many provinces operating ferries as an important
component of their highway networks.
 In some cases, ferries operate between provinces, and in
the case of the Marine Atlantic Inc. route between Port-
aux-Basques, NL, and North Sydney, NS, provide a
constitutionally-mandated service.

26.
Statistics and figures on ferry
operations across Canada
 CFA members collectively operate 168 ferries across the country.
 Employ approximately 9,000 people across Canada.
 Over 55 million passengers and 19 million vehicles were carried by CFA
member owned and operated ferries from coast to coast to coast in
2015.
 Many major cities such as Toronto, Vancouver, Québec City and Halifax
use ferry services as extensions of public transit systems. Even more
rural communities rely on ferries to transport people and goods to and
from their communities.
 BC Ferries is the largest passenger ferry line in North America and one
of the largest in the world, operating 36 vessels on 25 routes, serving 47
terminals along the coast of British Columbia.
 The Market indicates that the Canadian Ferries company will be in
need for many ships starting in 2020-2026.

27.
Real opportunities for Finland
Maritime sector
 Timing is everything and we can be sure that for the
next 20 years in Canada the Maritime sector will be
very productive.
 The Canadian Cost Guard Fleet aging is in need of
renewal for at least 20 ships plus the need of Navy for
several ships.
