Intermarine Canada

Supporting Canada’s national shipbuilding strategy through integrated naval delivery capabilities

An extension of our UK shipbuilding arm, our North American naval and marine hub was established to support Canada’s National Shipbuilding Strategy (NSS), one of the largest long term industrial and defence procurement programs in the Western world.

Intermarine Canada’s project delivery capabilities were established to align with NSS goals including rebuilding Canadian Navy and Canadian Coast Guard fleets and supporting the revitalisation of Canada’s domestic shipbuilding industry.

Championing Canada’s defense hub with international marine expertise

Headquartered in Toronto, Intermarine Canada is well positioned to support Irving Shipbuilding, Seaspan and Davie shipyards with workforce and project support. Bringing experienced trades and rapid mobilisation capacity, we are the team who understand naval standards with a proven track record in Type 26, naval vessels and complex marine programmes – perfect for Canada’s River-class destroyer programme.

Our mature shipbuilding experience is trusted by shipbuilding contractors and defence primes worldwide to improve project certainty, reduce delivery risk and accelerate high-volume output.

  • Pipefitting
