Exciting news for St Catharines, today, as the latest phase of the National Shipbuilding Strategy was announced by the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Bernadette Jordan. Seaspan Shipyard and their partner Heddle Marine were successful in their bid to build a polar icebreaker for the Canadian Coast Guard. This will mean tens of millions of Federal investment and potentially dozens of new jobs to the Port Weller Drydock as St Catharines will help build the Coast Guard Fleet.
