BBC Chartering applied , through its representative, for a licence to use the "BBC EMERALD", a multi-purpose heavy lift ship registered in Antigua and Barbuda, to exchange a set of turbines and accessories, which comprises the installation of a new Turbine Control Center, within the limits of Saint John harbor, Saint John, New Brunswick.

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.
