The shipbuilder claimed the facility “confirms Davie as Canada’s trusted partner and an international leader in the design, engineering and construction of ultra-modern, multifunctional, environmentally responsible polar and ice-capable ships” as well as claimed it “will also support and galvanize a community of thought leaders on the future of the Arctic maritime region, while showcasing Canadian ingenuity and innovation on the world stage to rival Scandinavia.”
Davie has actually been developing ships for the Arctic considering that the very early 1950s, when it provided Canada’s most effective icebreakers.
