CANADA'S NATIONAL SHIPBUILDING STRATEGY FORGES AHEAD, SEASPAN AWARDED CONTRACT

摘要

Seaspan's vancouver shipyards has won two contracts worth more than $65.4 million for the construction of the Canadian Coast Guard's Offshore Oceanographic Science Vessel (OOSV) and the Royal Canadian Navy's Joint Support Ships (JSS)-part of the National Shipbuilding Strategy (NSS) non-combat package. The contract enables Seaspan to initiate early discussions with potential suppliers and purchase necessary material and equip-ment, including propulsion systems, scientific equipment, generators and steel. All these specialized parts can be ordered prior to the start of construction ensuring the best value and timely delivery of the vessels, says Seaspan.
