Davie Purchases Finland’s Helsinki Shipyard Oy
By GLSR Staff |
Canada’s largest shipbuilder, Davie Shipbuilding, has acquired Finland’s Helsinki Shipyard Oy, the world’s leading builder of icebreakers and ice-class ships. While both shipyards will remain separate legal entities, the business headquarters will be based in Québec. This past April, Davie reached a deal with the Canadian government to construct icebreakers for the Canadian Coast Guard and ferries for Transport Canada.
