Determination No. W-2018-101
APPLICATION by Irving Shipbuilding Inc., pursuant to the Coasting Trade Act, S.C., 1992, c. 31, for a licence.
Irving Shipbuilding Inc. applied, through its representative, for a licence to use the "BOABARGE 37", a semi-submersible heavy lift and launching cargo barge registered in Norway, to transport sections of the Artic and Offshore Patrol Ship vessels from the Woodside pier in Darmouth, Nova Scotia to the shipyard in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The activity will start on August 15, 2018 and will end on October 10, 2018.
Is there a suitable Canadian ship available to perform the activity?
Canadian Transportation Agency (Agency) staff gave notice of the application to the Canadian marine industry and no Canadian ships were offered. Therefore, the Agency determines that there is no suitable Canadian ship available to perform the activity.
The Agency is providing this Determination to the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness to consider whether to issue the licence. This Determination is not an authority to operate.
