SAINT JOHN PORT DAYS
and Caribbean
Saint John Port Days 2012 promoted trade with Latin America and the Caribbean during a
three-day affair that generated buzz and business relationships. Kicking off with the
second annual Port Community Day, followed by a St. John River cruise and a golf tournament, the inaugural call of Disney Cruise Line to Saint John was a magical crescendo.

uring the business session held on June 12th,
hundreds of delegates listened to a panel of
business experts from the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, and from individuals
representing corporations such as Panama
Canal Authority and Tropical Shipping.
Andy Jacques, Trade Commissioner for the Canadian
Embassy in the Dominican Republic, provided myriad reasons to trade with the “Caribbean Tiger” and its nine million
people who, on average, are less than 30 years old. He
showed charts indicating average economic growth of
seven per cent annually over the last decade. “But only one
percent of the country’s imports are from Canada,”
observed Jacques. “We should be able to do a lot better,
and Atlantic Canada can be a big part of it.”
Jacques said companies like RIM and Barrick Gold
are doing very well in the Dominican Republic which still
needs major infrastructure improvements. He said the
existence of a free trade agreement with the U.S makes it
more difficult to compete for countries that do not have a
free trade agreement in place, such as Canada. Nevertheless, “Canada is perceived as a friendly, less
threatening country than the U.S.,” Jacques said. “The
Dominican Republic is open and interested in business
partnerships with Canada.”
Itzamn Huelat, Consular Agent in Commercial Affairs,
Export Promotion Agency of Costa Rica, said his country
is Latin America’s safest, and has one of the highest
Gross Domestic Product levels in the region. “Costa Rica
is known for its bananas and coffee but we are also the
fifth largest high-tech exporter in the world.” Huelat said
Intel, HP and IBM all have a strong presence. “Costa
Rica’s bilateral trade with Canada has increased from
about $100-million in 2000 to about $635 million in 2011,
and Costa Rica has a trade surplus with Canada of about
$315 million.” He shared a scoop that WestJet may soon
be offering direct flights to Costa Rica.
Marianela Dengo, Customer Relations Manager,
Panama Canal Authority joked that “It’s my first time in
Canada, and my teenage daughter was excited that I was
visiting Justin Bieber’s homeland.” A speaker at numerous
maritime related courses and conferences both in Panama
and abroad, Ms. Dengo presented a detailed update on
New Brunswick Culture, Tourism and Healthy
Living Minister Trevor Holder, Saint John’s Mayor
Mel Norton, and Saint John Port Authority
Chairman Stephen Campbell are welcomed aboard

the shortcut that joins the Atlantic and Pacific oceans at
America’s narrowest point. Dengo said the Panama Canal
is undergoing a $5.25-billion expansion to deepen and
widen the canal so ships with a 15-metre draft can pass
through it. It is expected to be completed by 2014. At 80
kilometres in length, it takes a ship about 24 hours to pass
through the canal. “Most Canadian ships which pass
through it are travelling from the West Coast to Europe,”
said Dengo, noting that ship traffic through the canal has
remained steady but cargo has grown exponentially.

Shipping, whose weekly container service from Saint John

to Florida and the Caribbean has
grown steadily for eleven years, concurred with Mr. Jacques that
Canadians are well respected in Latin
American and are known for high
quality products and services, yet
admits the various niche markets do
have their challenges. “Destination
storage capacity is generally limited
and the cost of power is high, thus
the cost of carrying inventories is
high. This is why we are importing
less-than-container-loads and offer
small islands weekly ‘just-in-time’
service.” Legere said Saint John
offers superior delivery time compared with Asia or Europe.
Andrew Dixon, Senior Vice-President, Planning & Development, Port
Saint John, who moderated the business session, agreed, “Tropical
Shipping and Mediterranean Shipping Company container services out
of Saint John make the logistics
process easy for both regions. Port
Saint John is energized and on the
move.” Dixon added that from Santos,
Brazil, to Saint John is 4,931 nautical
miles, one nautical mile farther than
New York City, due to the earth’s cur-

vature. He pointed out Port Saint
John does not have ship congestion
problems like larger ports nor does it
suffer from low water levels plaguing
ports on the St. Lawrence River.
At the Port Days luncheon, well
attended by local community leaders,
Jim Quinn, President and CEO of
Port Saint John, showed a new video
highlighting the port’s history and
diversity. “Saint John is now the
largest port by volume in the region
moving 31.7 million tonnes in 2011, a
record year,” Quinn stated. “We are
also the fourth busiest cruise destination in all of Canada.”
Stephen Campbell, Chairman of
Saint John Port Authority, standing in
for the Hon. Keith Ashfield, federal
Minister of Fisheries and Oceans and
the Atlantic Gateway, said the Port
has an opportunity to grow as larger
vessels require deep-water ports like
Saint John. “If we don’t make the right
investments now, other ports will, and
the opportunity will be lost.” He said
the Port’s recent achievements are
“remarkable and are creating a new
buzz” in the community. Campbell
noted that cargo has increased three
years in a row. Revenue also
increased in 2011, jumping from
$15.5 million to $16.2 million.
David Moloney, Senior Advisor to
the Privy Council Office Border Action
Plan Implementation, was the
keynote speaker at the luncheon. He
provided a detailed update on the
Border Action Plan which he
described as a strategy to “eliminate
speed bumps”. He said “all aspects of
the plan must come together to
improve our economy and joint security and the lives of millions of people
that cross it everyday.” Moloney estimates $1.5 billion in commercial
transactions happen across the U.SCanadian border every day, and said
considerable progress is being made
to streamline and align the border
system for all modes of transportation. “We are finally doing the stuff
that should have been done sooner.”
Also at the luncheon, Tropical
Shipping received the annual Port
Saint John Award from Jim Quinn.
Garth Moore, retiring President of
PCS Potash, was also recognized for
his contribution to expanding New
Brunswick potash mining and exports
6/21/12
through Port Saint John. Moore humbly accepted the gift
and offered a $500 donation to the Saint John Seafarers’
Mission of which Al Soppitt (past SJPA Chairman and
President) is the Chairman. Moore challenged other
organizations to do this same.
The morning after the Port Days Seafood Fiesta
finale, the Disney Magic cruise ship docked for the first of
nine scheduled calls this season as the sun came up on
the Bay of Fundy. About 2,500 passengers aboard the 11deck vessel visited Saint John on a bright spring day with
most of them taking shore excursions or walking into the
heart of uptown Saint John. Some of Disney’s favourite
characters welcomed a group of local delegates on board.
Seventy-three cruise ships will dock in Saint John this
season, bringing with them roughly 187,000 passengers
and 74,000 crew members.
Saint John Port Days concluded with the North-South
Incoming Mission, a special extension to Port Days offering one-on-one meetings with panelists and delegates
interested in expanding Latin America trade. “Afterward, I
had a chance to speak with several of the delegates to
gauge the success of this initiative,” added Andrew Dixon.
“All responses were positive with potential for further discussions, but I was particularly pleased to hear of

WESTERN SHIPBUILDING MEET
SHOWS SMALL BUSINESS HOW TO
LEVERAGE NSPS OPPORTUNITIES
BY R. BRUCE STRIEGLER
O
ver 600 business and trades people assembled
on May 23, at the Western Canadian Shipbuilding Summit in Vancouver. They heard speakers
from government and industry outline opportunities, steps and procedures for small- and
medium-size businesses to provide technical, mechanical
or other business service support to the two Canadian
shipyards building $33 billion worth of new Canadian
combat and non-combat vessels. On October 19, 2011, the
federal government’s National Shipbuilding Procurement
Strategy (NSPS) selected Vancouver’s Seaspan Marine
Corporation to build seven non-combat ships worth $8 billion, while Irving Shipbuilding Inc. of Halifax was awarded
a $25 billion contract for combat vessels.
Hosted by Western Economic Diversification Canada
and Seaspan Marine Corporation, the event was hailed by
Lynne Yelich, Minister of State for Western Economic
Diversification as “One of the many ways we are connecting small- or medium-size businesses with new business
opportunities.” Minister Yelich said, “This event is part of
Western Canada’s Shipbuilding Action Plan, and part of
our government’s priority of creating jobs, growth and
long-term prosperity.” At the time of the award announcement in 2011, the B.C. government said that, over the next
eight years, more than 4,000 new jobs would be created in
B.C. as a result.
Brian Carter, President, Seaspan Shipyards, was
enthusiastic, saying, “We’re proud to partner with Western
Diversification on this event. We look forward to building
Securing supporting NSPS contracts
The conference heard from a number of federal and
provincial government representatives including Public
Works and Government Services Canada and Industry
Canada. Gerry McGee, Director, NSPS Secretariat said
the Office of Small and Medium Enterprises (Public Works
and Government Services) supports these businesses to
obtain government contracts by working to reduce barriers
and simplifying requirements with six offices across the
country. He points out that up to 80 per cent of government
contracts are sourced through this office, through its website, buyandsell.gc.ca, and recommended that interested
NSPS subcontractors or those who want to be suppliers
should register on the website.
Mr. McGee told the meeting how the Canadian government created the Industrial and Regional Benefits (IRB)
policy to ensure that Canadian industry benefits from gov-

relationships with the supplier community, as well as working with other government departments and agencies
across Canada.”
Opening the session, Vice-Admiral (Ret.) Peter
Cairns, President of the Shipbuilding Association of
Canada, said, “We’re surrounded by three oceans, so
Canada and its economy float on salt water.” He highlighted the impacts and benefits of NSPS, pointing out that
the program would increase investment, research, development, new technology and workforce renewal.

procurement. The IRB policy is
designed to ensure that business activity equal to 100 per
cent of the value of the contracts
is generated in Canada by companies who win prime contracts.
Conference presenter Joe
Masi, Manager, Corporate Tax
and Integrated Operations at
British Columbia’s Ministry of
Finance, explained that, in addition to B.C.’s regular training tax credit for employers, the
British Columbia Budget for 2012 introduced new training
tax credits for employers with apprentices in the B.C. shipbuilding and ship-repair industry. The new policy means
that eligible employers can receive a refundable tax credit
of 20 per cent of wages paid per year, up to $5,250 per
apprentice in the first 24 months of an eligible apprentice
program, with similar credits based on an apprentice completing higher training levels. These credits are enhanced
by 50 per cent for those who are First Nations or individuals with disabilities. Mr. Masi says that the department is
still awaiting final regulations on the program.
Commenting on the large attendance at the shipbuilding summit, Bill Brown, Director of Development Services,
Township of Esquimalt, said that since the Graving Dock
was in Esquimalt, the town had an enormous stake in the
Seaspan work. “We want to be on the cutting edge of all
opportunities associated with both the NSPS shipbuilding
work, and with all other shipbuilding and repair work. This
event is a tremendous help in getting a line on all government programs and in accessing them.”
The international influence on shipbuilding
Marcel LaRoche, Marine Manager Western Canada,
Lloyd’s Register Canada, told conference delegates, “Over
90 per cent of the world’s cargo-carrying tonnage is covered by classification design, construction and through-life
compliance rules and standards set by the 13 Member
Societies of the International Association of Classification
Societies (IACS).
He explained, “Many ships are now built under delegation, which is what we may see with a lot of the projects
in Canada. Where historically shipbuilders would be dealing with Transport Canada with the certification of
equipment, components and materials, builders will now
likely be dealing with the classification societies registered
as Recognized Organizations in Canada. Essentially, what
we’re focussing on is to ensure the ships sailing the world’s
We’re proud to partner with Western
Diversification on this event. We look
forward to building relationships with the
supplier community as well as working
with other government departments and

oceans are sound, operating properly and built safely.”
Conference attendee Richard Brinkert, Business
Development Manager, Pacific Customs Brokers and
Pacific Overseas Forwarding Inc., found the forum an
opportunity to connect with different suppliers and the
shipbuilders themselves, to investigate opportunities to
help companies import goods, and to facilitate transportation or customs clearance issues. “Even with the
government’s IRB policy there will be parts or components
to be imported which different suppliers will need to construct these ships. We’ve learned a lot today about the
shipbuilding industry.”
Laura Dempsey, who handles sales for electrical
wholesaler E.B. Horseman & Son, says, “We have relationships around the province with different contractors
that are related to the marine industry. We have done a
small amount of work for the Seaspan group, but we’re
looking forward to really diving into the marine industry in
a larger way. Learning about IRB and different government
websites, seminars and round tables over the next year
will definitely push us in the right direction.”
Conference attendee Leonard Laboucan, aboriginal
training advisor to the First Nations Employment Society,
explained that, while it was up to each of the three First
Nations in the area to negotiate directly with Seaspan on
such things as labour and training, there was a need for an
organization to take the lead. “We have some resources,
but partnerships are what the future is about, so we’re here
today to identify how we can partner and with whom.”
The Western Canadian Shipbuilding Summit was a
major step in the implementation of Western Canada’s
Shipbuilding Action Plan, highlighted in the government’s
Economic Action Plan of 2012. Western Economic Development Diversification Canada will host upcoming
Shipbuilding Bootcamps to help business navigate government procurement policy, as well as Supplier
Development Tours to educate and connect businesses
with the shipbuilding industry.

Changes at ACPA – are changes
at the Executive level foreshadowing
other organizational changes?
BY ALEX BINKLEY
A
fter a decade of guiding the
Association of Canadian
Port Authorities (ACPA) to
the front lines of national
industry organizations in
Ottawa, Gary LeRoux has sailed off
to head the Canadian Paint and
Coatings Association.
With his departure, ACPA has
launched a review of its governance
model, as well as a search by an
executive search firm for a full-time
Executive Director.
“I have thoroughly enjoyed working on the issues in the port sector
and feel blessed to have so many
friends and colleagues in the maritime community generally,” Mr.
LeRoux says. “I have
nothing but fond memories of my time working
for the ACPA.”
Ray Johnston, President of the Chamber of
Marine Commerce, called Mr.
LeRoux “a great advocate for the
marine industry. At a time when the
sector was trying to get government
to better appreciate its importance to
the national economy, he took the
lead by organizing the highly successful Government-Port Interface
conferences.” The marine industry
has come a long way in that time.
Mr. LeRoux says the governance
review and a full-time ACPA office
with its own staff “is something I support and encourage. I continue to
assist in any way I can to ensure a
smooth transition which is expected
to be completed in a couple of
months.”
A decade ago, ACPA was little
known in Ottawa. The first Canadian
Port Authorities (CPAs) were formed
in 1999 and they had no representative in Ottawa. “By 2001, the CPAs
had come to fully understand the
commercial straitjacket the Chrétien
government had left them in with
severe borrowing restrictions and no
federal financial help”, he recalls.
GARY LeROUX
Former Executive Director of ACPA
approach that included incorporation,
development of a strategic direction
and sound business planning, updating bylaws and policies, and revising
governance policies. Furthermore,
the introduction of four annual events
helped increase membership and
non-dues revenue substantially, and
enhanced education and networking
opportunities. Last, but not least, ten
years of budget surpluses were
produced for the organization, quadrupling the Association’s reserve,” he
recalls.
Perhaps the best barometer of
ACPA’s growing influence was that
within hours of being appointed transport minister in 2006, Lawrence Cannon travelled to the
Association’s
Annual
Meeting in Gatineau to
meet
port
CEOs.
Despite
successive
minority Parliaments,
ACPA got badly needed amendments
to the Canada Marine Act passed by
Parliament in 2008. “It was the combined efforts of Association members
that got the job done,” Mr. LeRoux
explains. “One of the most critical
parts of the amendments was access
to federal funding, and the massive
funding flowing to ports since 2008
would not have resulted had the
Association not been successful in
that endeavour.”
“It was vital to make ACPA feel
and look like a national association.
Advocacy has to be done top-down
and bottom-up with one day sitting in
front of key ministers and the next
working the bureaucracy to advance
important files for the sector”, Mr.
LeRoux said. In his new job, Mr.
LeRoux will be operating on the
same philosophies and principles
which he applied during his tenure at
ACPA, and which produced such
positive results for its members.
ACPA was asked for comment
on possible changes to the organization but hasn’t responded.
A decade of guiding
ACPA
“They knew they had to get
changes. It was at this time when
the demand for new port facilities
and services began to grow.” The
ports needed more attention from
government, and ACPA decided to
engage Mr. LeRoux, a government
relations consultant, to represent the
interests of its members on a parttime basis.
Initially Mr. LeRoux handled government relations for ACPA, but took
on the Executive Director’s job after a
year. He was successful in building
the Interface conferences to the level
that they attracted cabinet ministers
and top civil servants to deal with
economic and policy issues. ACPA
was called on by Parliamentary committees to discuss legislation and
issues that senators and MPs were
studying. Ports were made eligible for
$115 million in security funding after
the 2001 terrorist attacks, as well as
infrastructure development funds.
“Early on, I turned to the task of revitalizing the Association, to put it on
the map with a renewed business

ZIM Integrated Shipping Services to add
a second service into Port of Halifax
File photo
A
ZIM source said the service will originate in the
Mediterranean, and the
first vessel call into Halifax
will be June 28. Although
ZIM is keeping a tight lid on details of
the new service, the line is expected
to use 4,500-TEU vessels on the
service.
“ZIM constantly reviews its line
structure and routes in order to
improve its services and intends to
further develop the services offered
to our customers,” Shats Avner, ZIM’s
Public Relations Manager, said in an
email. “We are currently exploring
some alternatives to improve our
services at Halifax and to add a
second call to the one we already
have,” he said.
Kevin Piper, President of ILA
Local 269, said the union is “ecstatic.
Zim is the longest-serving customer
here in Halifax and it continues to be
a major stakeholder here so we are
very happy that it is bringing more
business.”
About a year ago ZIM cut its Halifax calls from 104 a year to 52 when
it realigned a pendulum service creating two separate strings, ZCS
Pacific and ZCS Atlantic. Halifax was
included in the Pacific service but,
although ZIM reduced the number of
calls, it increased its cargo allocation
for Halifax on the Pacific service.
ZIM calls at the port’s South End

announced that it has ordered two

by ZPMG of China and are expected
to be operational in Q3, 2013.

Emirates fleet continues to lead airline
industry in fuel efficiency
T
he Emirates Group recently
released its second annual
environment report expanding the scope from last year
to include more data on Emirates locations outside Dubai as well
as additional business areas of the
Group. The results show Emirates airline maintains its leading position in
the industry in terms of fuel efficiency
due to its young, technologically
advanced fleet.
A key factor in the Group’s environmental strategy, supported by the
Boeing 777 order for an additional 50
aircraft in November 2011, is the airline’s eco-efficient fleet, which is at the
cutting edge of fuel efficiency and
environmental performance. With an
average fleet age of only 6.4 years
versus the global IATA average of 11.3
years, Emirates fuel efficiency results
are 22.5 per cent better than the IATA
average and CO2 emissions are 18.1
per cent better than the IATA average.
Emirates recognizes that how an
aircraft is flown can impact the environment. The airline has therefore
partnered with various air navigation
authorities around the world to test
the most eco-efficient flight routings.
One recent example featured in the
report was Emirates participation in
the INSPIRE (Indian Ocean Strategic
Partnership to Reduce Emissions)
program. Emirates’ three test flights
resulted in a combined fuel savings of
nearly 7 tonnes of fuel and 22 tonnes
of CO2 emissions. This ongoing work
identifies potential fuel efficiency
improvements and assists Emirates
in future flight planning goals.
In addition to initiatives and
benchmarking of flight operations,
the report recognizes the following
initiatives:
• Switching to lighter-weight Kevlar
Cargo unit loading devices,
saving 14,475 tonnes of fuel and
45,595 tonnes of CO2 emissions
•
•
•
Increasing frequency of engine
washes by Emirates Engineering,
saving an estimated 314 tonnes
of fuel and 989 tonnes of CO2
emissions
Eliminating e-waste through
recycling obsolete personal computers,
monitors,
laptops,
printers and toner cartridges,
saving around 5,800 items from
landfills
Recycling over 33 tonnes of used
clothing and shoes through staff
donations, and initiating a company-wide switch to recycled
paper, saving approximately
1,700 trees, more than 400,000
kWh of electricity, 3.3 million litres
of water, and 250 tonnes of CO2
emissions.

environmental activities and a full

Maersk-Rickmers transports coal shovels
for client in Russia
M
aersk Line, Limited and
Rickmers-Linie of Hamburg, Germany, have
formed a partnership
to provide worldwide
breakbulk and project cargo shipping
using two newly built 19,592-dwt
multi-purpose ships, the Maersk Illinois and the Maersk Texas, to be
operated under the U.S. flag.
The Maersk Illinois recently
departed Milwaukee with a load of
two P&H 2800XPC electric rope
shovels destined for a coal mine in
the Russian Federation.
Freight forwarders Dialog Freight
International (Canada) Inc. of Calgary, in partnership with Universal
Cargo Services of St. Petersburg,
Russia, have transported five P&H
electric rope shovels in the past two
years for P&H Mining (Joy Global)
customers in Russia. Of these, four
2800 series shovels have been
shipped directly from the Port of Milwaukee through the Great Lakes and
the St. Lawrence Seaway.
The two shovels are part of an
ongoing supply relationship linking
Milwaukee-based companies like Joy
Global and Caterpillar with the coal
industry in the Russian Federation.
By the end of 2012, Joy Global will
have placed a total of 23 modern
P&H-brand electric mining shovels in
Russia’s Kuzbass coal mining operations since 2005. Russia is investing
in modern infrastructure to help its
coal industry expand.
With reserves estimated at 200
billion tons – the world’s third largest
– coal has long been a dominant
energy source supporting Russia’s
economy and industrial base. Russ-
ian Federation President Vladimir
Putin announced from Kemerovo,
Siberia in January 2012 a plan to
spend 3.7 trillion rubles (US$120 billion) on the coal industry through
2030. Russian companies produced
336 million tons of coal in 2011 and
may reach 430 million tons by 2030,
Putin said.
Russia’s Energy Minister Sergei
Shmatko told Putin that Russia would
more than double coal exports to
Asia to an annual 85 million tons by
2030, including nearly 15 million tons
to China. In comparison, Russia
shipped 32 million tons to India,
Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and
China during 2011. Exports to Europe
will rise by an annual rate of 5 million
tons to 85 million tons by 2030 and
sales in Russia will increase 11 per
cent to 219 million tons.

Cruise Line Captain John Barwis.
“This region’s history, quaint charm
and scenic vistas will provide our
guests with a unique and memorable
vacation, and sailing from New York
is convenient for many families who
reside in the Northeast.”
To celebrate the inaugural calls
on Halifax and Saint John, Captain
Barwis and his shipboard officers
hosted local port officials and community leaders aboard the vessel for
a plaque exchange ceremony, in
accordance with maritime tradition.
“It’s an honour for us and our tourism

Cargo shipments through St. Lawrence
Seaway up 5 per cent in May
Photo: SLSMC
C
argo shipments of commodities through the
St. Lawrence Seaway, such as iron ore, coal,
aluminum and construction materials, totalled
4.5 million tonnes in May, an increase of 5 per
cent over the same month last year.
The St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation (SLSMC) also reported that year-to-date shipments
through the system from March 22 to May 31 totalled
8.9 million tonnes, up 3.7 per cent over the same period
in 2011. All cargo categories experienced increased volumes, except grain and liquid bulk.
The growth continues to be driven by a healthy
demand by U.S. and Canadian manufacturers and construction firms for raw materials, along with increased
exports of iron ore and coal. Shipments of aluminum
ingots from Quebec to manufacturers in Ontario and
the U.S. have also increased, while international vessels shipped in wind turbine components for projects in
Western Canada and the U.S. Midwest.
Bruce Hodgson, Director of Market Development
for SLSMC, said: “It’s encouraging to see that manufacturers, construction and resource companies in the
Great Lakes-Seaway region are continuing to find business
opportunities
both
domestically
and
internationally despite continuing global economic
uncertainty. The St. Lawrence Seaway remains the
most efficient way for these companies to transport
their goods.”
Coal shipments through the Seaway in May
increased by 22 per cent to 528,000 tonnes compared
to the same period last year due to export demand from
power utilities in Europe. Year-to-date figures for coal
total 1.1 million tonnes, an overall improvement of 31
per cent over 2011.
Iron ore volumes were 1.3 million tonnes in May, up
40 per cent compared to the same month last year.
Year-to-date figures for iron ore are up 23 per cent to 2.5
million tonnes. These included U.S. iron ore for international export, and inbound traffic from Labrador for steel
manufacturing in Hamilton. Year-to-date cement exports
from Ontario to the U.S. also increased 30 per cent to
393,000 tonnes.
Hamilton-based McKeil Marine Limited, which
transports products such as aluminum ingots and project cargo through the Seaway on its articulated tug
barges, said it was optimistic about the future prospects
for shipping in the Great Lakes-Seaway region.
“We continue to be cautiously optimistic as tonnage increases in some market segments, however,
there is little clarity on a long-term basis. The good
news is that we are seeing increases month to month,
which is encouraging and we continue to attract a
number of project cargoes driven predominantly by the
construction of the Vale Inco nickel processing plant in
Long Harbour, Newfoundland”, says Steve Fletcher of
McKeil Marine Limited.

Ojibwa completed its 12-day
journey from Halifax to Hamilton with a little help from
Heddle Marine Service Inc.
and McKeil Marine Limited.
“Hamilton Port Authority is proud that
Heddle Marine and McKeil Marine call
the port of Hamilton home and we are
delighted to welcome Ojibwa into Hamilton, one of many interesting cargo types
to move through the port.” says Ian
Hamilton, Vice-President, Business
Development. The 2,500-tonne underwater giant entered Canadian services
in 1965 and served the Royal Canadian
Navy and NATO throughout the Cold
War until its decommissioning in 1998.
Planning for the submarine's 1,200nautical-mile voyage required innovative
marine solutions and a detailed engineering study of each step to verify
stability, deck loading, sea fastening and
effects that weather would have on the
transportation process. Ojibwa traveled
through the St. Lawrence River and
across Lake Ontario on Heddle Marine’s
floating drydock towed by the Florence
M, part of McKeil Marine’s fleet. “We
are proud to be part of Project Ojibwa,”
said Rick Heddle, who was in Halifax to
supervise the loading of the submarine

for its safe journey to Hamilton
where it will spend the summer at
the Heddle shipyard receiving some
early restoration work and permanent cradles to assist in the
transportation to its final destination.
On September 7th, Ojibwa will
arrive by barge in Port Burwell
where the 300-foot-long, five-storyhigh submarine will be transported
overland to the Elgin Military
Museum in St. Thomas, where it will
be on permanent display. After
extensive restoration over the
upcoming winter, Ojibwa will open
for tours in the summer of 2013.
Edward Norwich, a medic who
served onboard Ojibwa for three
years says, “Ojibwa is an important
part of Canadian Heritage, one that
deserves to be displayed proudly. It
had many great adventures, and its
sailors were true-blue deep-sea
submariners at their best.”
Heddle Marine Service Inc. is a
full-service ship repair yard that provides repair services to all types
and various sizes of vessels in the
marine industry, and is the only
marine repair firm that operates
multiple floating dry docks on the
Canadian side of the Great Lakes.
McKeil Marine’s core business
is providing marine transportation
and project services for a wide
array of industries. With its skilled
sailing and support crew, marine
architects and engineers, the company works closely with customers
to provide marine transportation
solutions throughout the Great
Lakes to Eastern Canada and the
Arctic.

Port of Prince Rupert recognized for sustainable performance
P
ort of Prince Rupert celebrated a significant
milestone when it recently received an
enhanced rating by Green Marine, North
America’s leading marine environmental stewardship organization. In addition, Don Krusel,
the Port Authority’s President and CEO, was invited to
take a leadership role on Green Marine’s Board of Directors as Vice-Chair of the international organization.
“This recognition by Green Marine is an important
acknowledgement of the value the Port Authority places
on environmental stewardship,” said Gary Paulson, VicePresident of Operations and Harbour Master for Prince
Rupert Port Authority. “Since becoming Canada’s first
West Coast port to join Green Marine in 2010, we have
made our commitment to environmental leadership a key
priority. We are working to ensure that existing terminals
and future developments demonstrate ecological sensitivity and sustainability.”
Mr. Krusel addressed Green Marine’s fifth annual
GreenTech Conference, speaking about the importance
of ensuring that the Port’s operations are characterized
by sustainability and responsibility.
“We are keenly aware that while our activities benefit communities significantly, we also have a considerable
impact because of traffic and industrial activity,” said
Krusel. “The support of our communities for the Port's
development is one of our most important strategic
assets. The support of Prince Rupert's citizens makes us
unique compared to many other ports, and we want to
maintain and enhance that relationship of trust.”
During the Quebec City conference, Krusel was
invited to sit on Green Marine’s Board of Directors, an
offer he readily accepted.
“I am proud that Port of Prince Rupert will play an
important role in defining high environmental standards for
North America’s marine sector,” Krusel said.
