Status Report on Major Crown Projects
Description: The Mid-Shore Patrol Vessels project will acquire a total of twelve (12) Mid-Shore Patrol Vessels (MSPV) for the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) Fleet - eight (8) for Fisheries Conservation and Protection (C&P) duties and four (4) for Maritime Security duties. This project serves two purposes: 1) Fleet Renewal - the acquisition of the eight (8) C&P patrol vessels represents the first step in modernization of the CCG fleet, is vital to ensure the integrity of the fishery monitoring program and will provide the capacity for DFO to support the strategic role in conservation and protection; 2) Maritime Security - the acquisition of the four (4) Maritime Security vessels 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.
Project Phase: The MSPV Project is currently in the Implementation phase.
