The new project supports the Government of Canada’s commitment to offer cutting-edge functional facilities to RCN sailors to assist them in completing major operational missions.

The existing A and B jetties were originally constructed to accommodate vessels that were both smaller and lighter than the currently used modern Canadian patrol frigates, and are not long or deep enough to adequately facilitate the newest fleet of ships. 

Overhauling the yard's docking facilities will ensure the jetties are functionally optimal for berthing the country’s latest frigates, as well as the newly-designed ships slated to join the navy’s fleet between next year and the middle of 2040.

"The two new state-of-the-art jetties will greatly improve the ship-docking infrastructure for Canada’s naval vessels at Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt."

Canada Defence Minister Harjit S. Sajjan said: “This major infrastructure project has reached another important milestone with the awarding of the B Jetty site preparation contract to Pomerleau.
