The proposed amendment

Seaspan ULC temporarily relocated a floating repair facility to their existing main dock in February 2021. Seaspan have confirmed they require the floating repair facility to permanently remain in the current location as it has proven to be more efficient and allows greater access to support staff and vessel crews.
