On its social media feed, Heddle Shipyards recently noted that structural ship modules were being manufactured in the fabrication shop at its Thunder Bay facility for the first time in more than two decades.
Heddle is the largest ship repair and construction company on the Canadian side of the Great Lakes. It runs shipyards in its home port of Hamilton, in Port Weller on the Welland Canal, and in Thunder Bay on the western side of Lake Superior. The company acquired the former Lakehead Marine property and its dry dock in 2016.
“On this particular project, it’s allowed us to grow our workforce a bit and build capacity, especially on our fabrication side. From that standpoint, it’s been real exciting. A marketing tag that Heddle has been using on social media is: We are bringing shipbuilding back in Ontario.
