Recapitalizing Canada’s Fleets

What is next for Canada’s Shipbuilding Strategy?

Kevin McCoy – President, Irving Shipbuilding Inc. 20 October 2016

National Shipbuilding Strategy

$520 million invested to create the best shipbuilding capability in the world + significant investment in people and processes Now that shipbuilding has been re-established on a world class level it must be maintained!

• NSS packages awarded Oct 2011
• Competitive, transparent process
• Combat vessels: Irving Shipbuilding
• Non-combat vessels: SeaSpan
• NSS = Industry Certainty
• Up to 40 ships
• 25-30 years of steady work
• Leveling of boom & bust cycle
• Business certainty means shipyards

can confidently invest in:

• Facilities
• Processes
• People
• NSS has recapitalized and

transformed the shipbuilding industry at no cost to Canada

NSS: Incentivizing Investment

Results are already being delivered:

• Over $350M invested to build the most

modern shipyard in North America

• More than 1,300 employees, and

growing

• Hiring 100-200 employees by end of

2016

• $1.1 billion in spending commitments

with 200+ Canadian companies

• Invested in world class training

curriculum and facilities, and trained

• ver 500 of our employees
• $11 million committed for Value

Proposition investments in the greater marine industry

Maritime Risk to Canada

Canada’s Navy is being stretched compared to allies

Defence Expenditure vs. GDP

Canada is not meeting NATO guidelines for defence spending and equipment investment

Naval Personnel as % of Armed Forces

Submarine Proliferation

Russia – Naval Expansion

• Once the Industrial Base is lost it

takes 10 years to recreate

• US builds 12-15 ships per year to

support the Naval Force Structure AND maintain the Industrial Base

• Five Tier 1 and Two Tier 2 Shipyards:
• Aircraft Carrier - continuous build
• 2 Submarines / year
• 2-3 Destroyers / year
• 4 Littoral Combat Ships / year
• 1-2 Amphibious Ships / year
• 3-4 Support Ships / year
• Canada needs to keep building ships
• r it will lose what it has just

reconstituted!!!

National Shipbuilding Strategy

Current and Future Trends in Naval Warfare

• Anti-submarine warfare
• Bigger & better radars
• Air-Sea Battle
• Proliferation of anti-ship cruise missiles
• Ballistic Missile Defence
• Land attack/ littoral operations
• Unmanned vehicles – air/surface/ submerged
• Littoral operations
• Modularity
• Large open mission bays – adaptability
• Amphibious capability
• Humanitarian Assistance & Disaster Relief
• Medical/ hospital
• Environmental response (oil spill, etc.)
• Natural Disasters (domestic/ abroad)
• Command & Control
• Constabulary capabilities
• Counter drug/ terrorism/ piracy/ migrants
• Smaller crews/ increased automation

What Next

2016

RCN Operational Deployments Worldwide

Nanook NATO Counter Drug HA/DR Unitas/ Caribbe NATO CP/ CT OEF/ Apollo Westploy/ RIMPAC UN

History tells us: No shortage of missions or need to respond to crisis

Littoral Combat Ship – Fast Ship, Large Mission Bay

Modularity/ Adaptability for the future

Multi Role Vessels – Standard in other Navies

 Sealift  Adaptability  Crisis Response  Sustainment

HMNZS Canterbury Multi-Role Vessel HMAS Canberra LHD KNMLS Karl Doorman Joint Logistics Support Ship Maritime Support Ship – For Canada?

Light Multi Role Vessel (MRV)

• Flexible
• Inexpensive
• 3,000t – 4,000t
• Shallow draught
• Multi-mission configurability
• Blue water/ offshore/ littoral capable
• Helicopter capable
• Catamaran/ trimaran?
• Surface effect?
• Monohull?

For a Maritime Nation with an Extensive Ocean Estate Shipbuilding is an INVESTMENT in Security and Sovereignty
