Icebreaker sold to breakers in Nova Scotia

Thu Dec 08 12:16:52 CET 2022 Timsen

Regarding the decommissioned CCGS 'Hudson', a $1.6-million contract has been awarded to the Nova Scotia marine contracting company R.J. MacIsaac Construction Ltd. for the vessel's deconstruction and disposal. The icebreaker was a key platform for Fisheries and Oceans Canada's oceanographic science program. The ship made several significant scientific expeditions, including the first circumnavigation of the Americas in a single voyage. Coast guard personnel have removed historical items from the ship ahead of the scrapping project. The items are being stored and will be archived or donated to maritime museums, installed on other coast guard vessels or placed as historical decorative pieces at departmental sites. n the coming weeks, the Canadian Coastguard will sign over the care and custody of the vessel to R.J. MacIsaac. The ship will then be towed from the Bedford Institute of Oceanography in Dartmouth to a temporary storage site in Halifax Harbour before being moved to the company's Sheet Harbour facility in spring 2023. Hazardous material remediation and disposal will be done before the vessel is removed from the water and the hull and superstructure are disassembled. The overall project is expected to be completed by the end of fall 2023. As part of the contract, R.J. MacIsaac is tasked with ensuring that any steel, stainless steel, aluminum or other recyclable materials on the vessel are recycled, while non-recyclable materials will be disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner. The contractor will also salvage and return the hull transducers and propellers to the Coastguard.

Decommissioned icebreaker to become a museum?

Tue Mar 15 11:54:56 CET 2022 Timsen

The CCGS 'Hudson', slated for the scrapyard, could find a second life as a floating museum in Sydney harbour. She was recently decommissioned after one of the propulsion engines failed as it came into port in St. John’s, N.L. The Canadian Coast Guard determined repairs would cost too much time and money, ultimately deciding to retire her from service after 59 years. However, Vince MacLean — a former leader of the provincial Liberal party and mayor of Sydney — said the vessel should be repurposed as a tourism attraction and training tool for Canadian Coast Guard College cadets as a national treasure. In addition to decades of oceanographic and hydrographic survey work, the 'Hudson' became the first vessel to circumnavigate North America and South America, leaving Halifax in November 1969, sailing south to Antarctic waters, circling around South America, then the mid-Pacific before returning to Nova Scotia through the Northwest Passage in 1970. As parliamentary secretary to Joyce Murray, the minister of Fisheries and the Canadian Coast Guard, Cape Breton-Canso MP Mike Kelloway, was currently discussing ways to keep the Hudson’s legacy alive. The key is finding a local group or organization capable of taking ownership of and maintaining the Hudson.
