IRVING

Irving Shipbuilding's expertise has led to the construction of more than 80% of the vessels currently operational in Canada’s Navy. Presently, the shipyard is focusing on delivering a new fleet of combatant ships dedicated to the service of the country's naval forces.

The shipyard's project lineup includes the fabrication of six Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ships (AOPS) and 15 Canadian Surface Combatants (CSC), intended to modernize the fleet by replacing frigates that were introduced in the late 20th century. In addition, plans are set to build two specialized AOPS for the Canadian Coast Guard, marking yet another milestone in Canada's maritime capabilities.

The shipbuilding efforts led by Irving Shipbuilding are not only revitalizing Canada’s defense forces but also have a profound impact on job creation, fostering innovation, and stimulating economic growth nationwide. This industry presents unparalleled career opportunities that span generations and has initiated an expansive supply chain, benefiting from investments exceeding $5.347 billion, thus enhancing economic prosperity from coast to coast.

In collaboration with the Government of Canada, Irving Shipbuilding is dedicated to leveraging its success to benefit the broader Canadian society. This collaboration encompasses reinvestment in a variety of projects aimed at safeguarding the environment through the promotion of Canada’s ocean economy, empowering small enterprises, instigating initiatives for workforce diversity, and providing support for veterans and the families of military personnel.
