Container Ships using a construction approach which involves
fabricating very large modules (up to 1 000t) which are
extensively outfitted.
HALIFAX SHIPYARD
A Division of Irving Shipbuilding Inc.
Over the last few years Halifax Shipyard facilities have been
extensively modernized. Upgrades include expansion of the
assembly hall to accommodate the joining and erection of
pre-outfitted sub-assemblies. The lifting facilities, slipways,
wharfage and waterfront have also been refurbished.

Canadian Patrol Frigate
Frigates
The CPF (Canadian Patrol Frigate) Project was a landmark in
Canadian Naval History. For the first time a private contractor
assumed Total Systems Integration Responsibility for the design,
construction, integration and through life support of a class of
warships.
The Canadian Navy was provided with a complete package: twelve
fully operational frigates, backed by Integrated Logistics
Support, produced with maximum benefit to Canadian industry,
within a strict schedule at a fixed ceiling price.
To meet the CPF challenge a Centre of Excellence was developed
comprising hundreds of professionals in a variety of disciplines.
This experienced team handled responsibilities in the following
areas.

Coastal Defence Vessels
Coastal Defence Vessels
Twelve Canadian Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels (MCDV) are in
service with the Canadian Navy. MCDVs are modern and employ
Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) equipment for cost effectiveness.
They are extremely manoeuvrable and simple to operate and
maintain. In Canada, the vessels are manned by rotating Naval
Reserve crews who receive introductory training in all aspects of
naval vessel operation.
MCDV is very versatile and can deploy a wide range of specialized
modular payloads which can be installed in 24 hours. These
include, but are not limited to:
Towed Side Scan Sonar
Remotely Operated Vehicles
Mine Sweeping Gear
Pollution Control
Diving and Recovery
Signal data from payloads is routed through pre-installed cabling
and fibre optics to be displayed in the Operations Room and
Bridge.
Simpler modules can also be installed. MCDV's general cargo
carrying capacity and its ability to export Electrical Power make
it ideally suited to provide disaster relief in remote areas.
For insertion or interdiction duties, MCDV can be fitted with
handling gear to deploy a fast assault craft from its aft end.
The vessel is fitted with a comprehensive communications suite
and a variety of weapons and sensors can be fitted.
Accommodation standards are high and the MCDV is designed to
operate in any area of the world.
MCDVs are supported with a proven logistics support and training
program.

Z-drive Harbour / Coastal Tugs
Z-Drive Harbour / Coastal Tugs
Versatility and Dependability
Irving Shipbuilding Inc. offers a series of Z-drive harbour tug
designs ranging from 1550 bhp to 4000 bhp with common layouts and
main machinery and thruster suppliers.
Tug designs are based on existing vessels which are currently in
service and can be viewed.
Operation
All-welded, steel-built tug can be equipped for harbour and/or
coastal duties. Propulsion provided by twin azimuthing Z-drive
thrusters, each driven by a high speed marine diesel engine.
Built to the requirements of ABS/Lloyds' register. Safety outfit
in compliance with the requirements of the Canadian Coast
Guard.
The vessel is normally operated from the air-conditioned pilot
house and with the machinery space unmanned.
Ship handling operations are normally conducted over the bow
using a powered line-handling winch and a robust, resilient
fendering system.
Potential outfitting options include crew accommodation to
support coastal towing service, fire fighting (FIFI 1) and oil
pollution control equipment.
Z-Drive
Z-drive propulsion units have been selected and arranged in the
``reverse-tractor`` configuration having the following
operational and safety advantages:
High bollard pull
Exceptional manoeuverability
Control over tug position and direction is highly accurate
Thrust is almost equal over 360
All work performed in one direction, over the bow
Tug can rapidly change from ``push`` to ``pull`` mode
Operator always facing the attended ship
Risk of girting eliminated
High speed with effective thrust on the side of the moving ship
Drive units can be arranged to be withdrawn and replaced with
the tug afloat
Draft greater than with conventional propulsion
Powered line-handling winches (tow hooks optional)
Flexibility
Fire fighting and ability to spray oil dispersant is available
Increased crew accommodation can be provided

Several innovations are incorporated into the design of this
vessel. Among the features are the following:
A spoon shaped bow which enables the ship to break ice with
minimum use of propulsion power.
A water spray system which reduces the friction of the ship's
hull against ice.
A set of extruders (or reamers) at the start of the mid-body. The
extruders create a channel through the ice, the channel being two
meters wider than the width of the vessel. An arrangement of
single screw machinery, comprising two medium speed diesel
engines geared to a shaft line and a controllable pitch
controller, which operates in a protective nozzle.

Ahead of the panel line are two CNC buming machines each having
dual plasma underwater cutting heads, one bevelling, capable of
cutting 16m X 3.6m plates.
The panel line is capable of producing flat panels up to 16m wide
X 18m long (nominal). The panel line consists of one sided
welding machines, panel flame planers, automatic stiffener
positioners, web fitting gantries, web welding gantries,
workstations with ultra heavy lift systems, and a 280t loadout
station.
The curved assembly area incorporates mobile pin jigs' serviced
with stiffener and welding gantries.
The sub-assembly area consists of a semi-automatic line served by
tow semi-portal 10t cranes and a 20 t overhead hook crane.
The main assembly area is where the smaller sub-assemblies are
joined to form shaped units. This area is served by tow 75t
cranes and one 10t crane.
Over and above this equipment are 1500t hydraulic rolls, a 500t
hydraulic press and guillotine shears.
