The arrival of this modern containership marks another important step in Project Resolve’s program to convert the vessel in order to provide interim at-sea support services to meet the Royal Canadian Navy’s operational requirement for at-sea replenishment. The vessel conversion will take place at Davie Shipbuilding in Lévis and features a pan-Canadian team of world class suppliers. Pending a signed agreement with the Government, the converted vessel will be delivered for service in the summer of 2017. For more information, please visit Projectresolve.ca“
