Mammoet Canada recently assisted Seaspan Shipyards in the launch of the first Offshore Fisheries Sciences Vessels (OFSV) designed and built for the Canadian Coast Guard. Mammoet provided an additional 60 axle-lines of SPMT trailers to the shipyards existing 32 axle-lines of SPMT trailers to help transport the 63 meter long ship to its dock. The OFSV1 is one of three new vessels which will be used for scientific research and ecosystem-based management of Canada’s fisheries.

Having successfully completed the heavy-lift transport operations for the OFSV1, Mammoet Canada is looking forward to working with Seaspan on the similar planned SPMT transport operations for the next two OFSVs.
