MacLeod said the massive project will require the time, talent, products and services of hundreds of companies over several years, noting the project will provide continuous employment for about 1,400 people.
The bulk of the work will be done at Seaspan’s North Vancouver Shipyard, which was purpose-built for the polar icebreaker project.
Liberal cabinet ministers announced Thursday the government had doubled the number of heavy icebreakers it will build over the next decade, with Seaspan and Quebec-based Chantier Davie being given one each.

Marine innovation hub names executive and board

Norris said the group, which also named its initial 15-member board Wednesday, hopes to land some operational investment for its activities from industry and other sources, after being funded so far by government.
The goal is also to establish a physical location for the marine innovation hub, providing not only a home base but amenities such as research facilities and manufacturing and creative space for what could grow into a large marine industry.
The plan is to develop new companies focused on the water and create as many as 1,000 new jobs.
The hub will support businesses in commercializing products and services, developing new technologies and growing into new markets. ....
