Government of Canada begins construction on heavy icebreaker bound for Arctic
On Aug. 20, Stephen Fuhr, Secretary of State (Defence Procurement), joined Mélanie Joly, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions, and other dignitaries at Helsinki Shipyard, to mark the official start of construction of the Polar Max, one of two new polar icebreakers being built under Canada’s NSS for the CCG.
The Polar Max is being built by Chantier Davie Canada Inc. (CDCI), with its hull construction taking place at CDCI’s recently acquired Helsinki Shipyard in Finland. Once the construction of the hull is completed, it will be moved from Finland to the CDCI shipyard in Lévis, Quebec, for the final assembly and outfitting of the vessel. The federal government says that this collaboration provides Canadian workers with the opportunity to learn Finnish best practices in polar icebreaker construction, gaining hands-on experience that can be applied to future projects as well.
The Polar Max, expected to be delivered by 2030, will help ensure that the CCG has the ships it needs to deliver work such as icebreaking, responding to maritime emergencies, conducting Arctic science research, and ensuring the delivery of goods and services to Canada’s northern communities.
