About
Halifax Shipyard has been at the forefront of Canadian shipbuilding for more than 130 years; the Halifax Graving Dock Company began operation in 1889. Halifax Shipyard joined Irving Shipbuilding in 1994. Past programs include nine Halifax-class frigates delivered by Saint John Shipbuilding (1987-1996), 12 Kingston-class Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels, the Halifax-class modernization contract awarded in 2008 and nine Mid Shore Patrol Vessels for the Canadian Coast Guard (2009-2014).
In 2011 Irving Shipbuilding was selected as one of two shipbuilding Centres of Excellence under the National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy and awarded the combat package, a program of 21 vessels over 30 years. It has since invested more than $400 million to modernize Halifax Shipyard, whose Assembly and Module Hall is 408 m long and 46 m high. A 165 m shiplift has been contracted to support the River-class destroyer program and future repair work. The company employs 2,400 people.
