Attribution des contrats de prolongation de la durée de vie des navires Martha L. Black et Leonard J. Cowley de la Garde côtière canadienne

Ottawa (Ontario) - Veiller à ce que le personnel de la Garde côtière canadienne dispose d'un équipement fiable pour garder les voies navigables du Canada ouvertes et sécuritaires est une priorité clé pour le gouvernement du Canada.

Aujourd'hui, la Garde côtière canadienne a annoncé l'attribution de deux contrats pour la prolongation de la durée de vie du NGCC Martha L. Black et du NGCC Leonard J. Cowley, d'une valeur de 31,5 millions de dollars et de 29,7 millions de dollars respectivement. Les deux navires seront en cale sèche pour commencer une période de maintenance prolongée, visant à augmenter leur durée de vie opérationnelle.

À la suite d'un processus concurrentiel ouvert, Services publics et Approvisionnement Canada, au nom de la Garde côtière canadienne, a attribué à Verrault Navigation Inc. de Les Méchins, au Québec, et à Newdock de St. John's, à Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador, les contrats pour terminer les travaux de prolongation de la durée de vie du NGCC Martha L. Black et du NGCC Leonard J. Cowley.

Brise-glace léger polyvalent et navire baliseur, le NGCC Martha L. Black est principalement responsable des aides à la navigation et des travaux d’entretien des bouées dans la région du Saint-Laurent pendant les mois les plus chauds de l'année. Pendant les mois d'hiver, le navire effectue des escortes dans les glaces et sur le Saint-Laurent et le Saguenay, jouant un rôle essentiel dans le maintien de la navigation des principales voies navigables du Canada toute l'année. Le NGCC Leonard J. Cowley est un patrouilleur hauturier basé à St. John’s, à Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador. Bien que la tâche principale du navire soit la surveillance des pêches et l'application de la loi, le navire effectue également des opérations de recherche et de sauvetage en cas de besoin.

Alors que les navires feront l’objet d’une prolongation de la durée de leur vie du printemps 2023 à l'été 2024, la Garde côtière canadienne redéploiera ses autres ressources maritimes pour s'assurer que les voies navigables du Canada continuent d'être sécuritaires pour tous les gens de mer.

Ces contrats s’inscrivent dans le cadre du pilier réparation, radoub et entretien de la Stratégie nationale de construction navale, qui contribue à faire en sorte que le Canada dispose d'une flotte de navires sécuritaires et efficaces, pour servir et protéger les Canadiens pour les années à venir, tout en offrant des possibilités continues aux chantiers navals et aux fournisseurs partout au Canada.

    Outgunned and outranged: Why the Army must get more from cannons and missiles

    By: Jeff Martin WASHINGTON — The U.S. Army is now at an inflection point: After years with little urgency to extend the range of ground-launched missiles and cannons, the Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty is no more and countries like Russia, China, and North Korea have built up capabilities of their own systems. That's led to what many call a “range gap." Find out more below.
