IRVING SHIPBUILDING
Irving Shipbuilding
Irving Shipbuilding is Canada’s National Shipbuilder. We have proudly built and maintain over 80% of the Royal Canadian Navy’s fleet in service today.
A trusted partner in the National Shipbuilding Strategy, Halifax Shipyard is at the forefront of shipbuilding in Canada. In 2011, Irving Shipbuilding was selected to construct Canada’s future naval combatant fleet – the largest naval procurement program in Canadian history. Since then, Irving Shipbuilding has served as a national champion in combat ship construction and sustainment. Our proven record in world-class new construction and ship repair ensures Canada’s naval fleet is built and maintained to the highest standards, supporting operational readiness at all times.
To date, six Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ships (AOPS) have been delivered to the Royal Canadian Navy, and two custom AOPS for the Canadian Coast Guard are currently under construction.
Construction is now underway on the larger River-class destroyers, and nearly $15 billion in spending commitments are projected through 2027, with nearly 700 organizations across Canada as part of the National Shipbuilding Strategy.
