The Mid-Shore Patrol Vessels (MSPV) project will acquire up to 9 Mid-Shore Patrol Vessels for the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) Fleet - five of the nine MSPV will be used primarily to support the Conservation and Protection Program in the Maritimes, Quebec and Pacific Regions. The other four vessels will be used in a joint program with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) to enhance maritime security along the Great Lakes – St. Lawrence Seaway system. This project serves two purposes:

• Fleet Renewal - the acquisition of Conservation and Protecction patrol vessels represents the first step in modernization of the CCG fleet and will ensure the integrity of the fishery monitoring program and will provide the capacity for DFO to support the strategic role in fisheries enforcement; and
• Maritime Security - the acquisition of MSPV for Maritime Security will allow CCG, in conjunction with the RCMP, to respond to the Government's commitment to enhance the security of the nation's coasts and waterways.

The MSPV project supports the Vessel Procurement and Fleet Renewal objectives of the Canadian Coast Guard.

All 2009-10 objectives for the MSPV project were achieved.

In August 2009, a contract was awarded to Irving Shipbuilding Inc. for the procurement of 9 MSPV. Construction of the first vessel began in September 2010 and delivery is expected in Fall 2011.

The Offshore Fisheries Science Vessels (OFSV) project will acquire three OFSV for the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) Fleet. The OFSV will replace four aging Coast Guard ships on the east and west coasts of Canada that provide a platform from which critical scientific research and ecosystem-based management can be performed.

To be determined

The OFSV project supports the Vessel Procurement and Fleet Renewal objectives of the Canadian Coast Guard.

During 2009-10, the concept design work was finalized and the associated Design Instructions and Guidance were developed. An RFP for design was issued in March 2010 and the design contract was awarded in October 2010.

The Preliminary Project Approval was amended in September 2010, to extend the design phase, and separate the design contract from the eventual construction contract. This approach was adopted to increase project management efficiencies within the approved funding envelope and account for the implementation of the National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy under which the OOSV will be constructed. Project milestones have been revised and the vessel is expected to be delivered by 2014.

The Offshore Oceanographic Science Vessel (OOSV) project will acquire a replacement vessel for the Canadian Coast Guard's largest science vessel - CCGS Hudson. This vessel was built in 1963 and its replacement is critical to fulfilment of the Department's science mandate as well as mandates of other government departments and agencies. The vessel currently operates on the east coast of Canada.

To be determined

The OOSV project supports the Vessel Procurement and Fleet Renewal Objectives of the Canadian Coast Guard.

During 2009-10, the concept design work was finalized and the Work Scope definition and the associated Design Instructions and Guidance were developed. An RFP for design was issued in April 2010 and the design Contract was awarded in October 2010.

The new Polar Icebreaker is expected to be delivered in time for the decommissioning of  the CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent. This new polar icebreaker will help strengthen Canada's Arctic sovereignty and will be able to operate in the Arctic in more severe weather conditions and for a longer period of time - 3 seasons instead of the current 2 seasons.

To be determined

The Polar project supports the Vessel Procurement and Fleet Renewal Objectives of the Canadian Coast Guard.

Project Outcomes are the measurable results expected at the end of the project and contribute to the Fleet Operational Readiness Program Activity in the DFO Program Activity Architecture.

In-house conceptual design work in preparation for detailed design work to follow has commenced and is ongoing throughout 2010-11. An RFP for the design portion of the project will be released in Spring 2011 with the winning bidder to be announced in Summer 2011. The detailed design work by the winning design company will commence in 2011 to be delivered in 2013.
