A. F. Theriault & Son Limited
Meteghan River, NS
Company Overview
A. F. Theriault & Son Ltd. is the oldest and largest privately owned family run shipyard in Nova Scotia. The business has been in existence since 1938. Trends in the boat building industry have been kept current with extensive new facilities and experience in building vessels in fibreglass, steel, and aluminum. A very high level of workmanship is maintained in both the old and new trades.
The gradual progression from building 3 masted sailing ships to current state of the art fishing boats or finely crafted pleasure yatchs has always been undertaken with enthusiasm and pride. Given the unpredictability of the fishing industry, the shipyard has managed to build new vessels as well as keep the repair facility almost fully booked.
The major market area is the Maritime Provinces of Canada but exports have gone as far away as Europe, Morocco, Israel, St-Pierre et Miquelon, USA, Bahamas, Caribbean, and throughout Canada. We are currently looking to extend our active market area to the US New England states, Caribbean Islands, Mexico, Central America, and the southern South American countries.
For the most part all plans have originated in the design office of the shipyard. Currently we are using AutoCAD (computer aid drafting) for our plans, as well as ProSurf (computer aid design) for the structural design of some vessels. These programs offer greater flexibility and time schedule advantages for the design process. All large vessels are approved by the Canadian Coast Guard, Canadian Steamship Inspection branch, with emphasis on construction, safety, and stability. The rulings followed are usually CSI, ABS, Lloyds, or Vertias.
In summary, A. F. Theriault & Son Ltd. is facing new challenges and new technology with enthusiasm and determination. Great pride in our products and services continue to be our main goal.
