SPOTLIGHT

CANAL is proud to be a supplier of strategic marine electrical engineering services to Seaspan as it helps fulfil its roll under Canada's National Shipbuilding Strategy (NSS).

"On the first new build vessels that we constructed as part of the NSS program, CANAL was instrumental in setting to work the engines and getting the main generation and switchboards lit off so we could actually go to sea on those vessels. It wouldn't have happened without Canal honestly."
– Luke Staff, Seaspan
