Thales Celebrates Delivery of First New Class of Vessels to Canadian Coast Guard under National Shipbuilding Strategy
13 Octobre 2020 - 3:30PM
Thales celebrates the delivery of
CCGS John
Cabot, the third Offshore Fisheries Science Vessel
(OFSV) delivered to the Canadian Coast Guard under the Government
of Canada’s National Shipbuilding
Strategy (NSS).
The three new OFSVs, the first class of large
vessels built under the NSS, are serving as the primary platform
for Canada’s Fisheries and Oceans scientists to conduct important
research activities. In addition, the OFSVs have the capability to
support search and rescue and environmental response
operations.
Thales played a key role in constructing the new
OFSVs in support of the Canadian Coast Guard’s mandate. As Seaspan
Shipyard’s Electronic Systems Integrator (ESI) for these vessels,
Thales is responsible for the design, development and installation
of the integrated bridge and navigation, internal and external
communication, and science mission systems.
“Thales is proud to have played an
important role in the successful
delivery of the
CCGS John
Cabot and all three
of the Canadian Coast Guard’s new
Offshore Fisheries Science
Vessels. With unparalleled
expertise in innovative systems integration, we are committed to
continuing our work with Seaspan
Shipyards under the NSS
and supporting innovation
within Canada’s domestic shipbuilding industry
at-large.”
- Mark
Halinaty, President and CEO, Thales
Canada
In 2016, Seaspan Shipyards contracted Thales as
the ESI for the three Offshore Fisheries Science Vessels, two new
Joint Support Ships and one Offshore Oceanographic Science Vessel.
Under the NSS, Thales has generated significant economic impact to
Canada, working with more than 70 suppliers across eight provinces
from coast-to-coast, with investments totaling more than $70M
CAD.
