The National Shipbuilding Strategy continues to deliver on its commitment to equip the Royal Canadian Navy with the ships needed to serve Canadians, while bringing jobs and prosperity to communities across the country and revitalizing our marine industry.

The Honourable Diane Lebouthillier, Minister of National Revenue and Member of Parliament for GaspsieLes les-de-la-Madeleine, announced that Public Services and Procurement Canada, on behalf of National Defence, has awarded a contract of $102 million (including taxes) to Ocean Industries Inc., from Isle aux-Coudres, Quebec, for the acquisition of four tugs.

These new tugs will provide towing, firefighting and other critical support services to both the Atlantic and Pacific Maritime Forces. They will replace the Royal Canadian Navy's five civilian-crewed Glen-class large tugs and two Fire-class rescue boats.

This contract will help sustain or create up to 140 jobs for Ocean Industries Inc. and its subcontractors.
