The Honourable Peter MacKay, Regional Minister for Nova Scotia, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, on behalf of the Honourable Gail Shea, Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, today announced the acceptance of Canadian Coast Guard vessel CCGS Captain Goddard M.S.M. into the Coast Guard fleet. CCGS Captain Goddard M.S.M. is the last of nine Mid-Shore Patrol Vessels (MSPVs) built and delivered by Irving Shipbuilding Inc. to the Canadian Coast Guard.
The acceptance of the CCGS Captain Goddard M.S.M. marks the completion of a successful contract between the Canadian Coast Guard and Irving Shipbuilding to build each of its nine MSPVs.
As announced in September 2009, the MSPVs were built as a result of a $194 million contract in the context of the Canadian Coast Guard''s long-term Fleet Renewal Program. These vessels will be used for safety patrol, maritime safety, and search and rescue.
In November 2010, the Government of Canada announced that the MSPVs would be named after heroic Canadians who put their duty ahead of their safety in service to our country.
