Quebec Gets $11.3B Icebreaker Deal | Vancouver News
Description
Quebec’s shipbuilding sector just landed Canada’s biggest-ever naval contract: $11.3 billion to build six state-of-the-art icebreakers for the Coast Guard, starting steel-cutting next fall and delivering the first vessel in five years. Built at Chantier Davie in Lévis under “Buy Canadian” rules using local steel, the project will sustain 5,000 jobs and replace aging fleet members — all while boosting Quebec’s economy amid tense U.S. trade talks. This follows a 2024 design deal and is part of a broader national plan to overhaul Canada’s maritime fleet by 2045.
