HAMILTON — On January 1st, 2024, Heddle Shipyards became Ontario Shipyards to reflect the next phase of their reported growth and future success.
The transition to Ontario Shipyards is both a signal and a commitment that they will try to harness the capacity of Ontario’s shipyards and the industrial capabilities of the province to try and become the most reliable provider of ship repair and shipbuilding services in Canada.
Ontario Shipyards says they will modernize shipyard operations and build a highly skilled and motivated workforce.
In the coming years, additional capacity will be needed to support the Canadian government’s National Shipbuilding Strategy. Ontario Shipyards stands ready to provide that capacity.
“We must never forget where we have come from, but it is important to always be forward-thinking and strive for a better future. The rebranding of our company to Ontario Shipyards marks a significant shift. It is a poignant signal that our company will activate and harness the capacity, capabilities and output of Canada’s industrial heartland to build and fix ships. We will always maintain the core values that have made us successful – Ontario Shipyards is Where Water Meets Mettle™,” says Shaun Padulo – President and CEO.
