Determination No. W-2020-140
This Determination has been varied by Determination No. W-2020-144
APPLICATION by Kvaerner Canada Limited, pursuant to the Coasting Trade Act, SC 1992, c 31 (Act), for a licence.
Kvaerner Canada Limited applied , through its representative, to the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness (Minister), for a licence to use the "BOABARGE 34", a heavy lift semisubmersible barge registered in Norway, to be used as a temporary storage facility for the Deep Panuke platform in Mulgrave's harbour, Nova Scotia. The activity will start on or about August 16, 2020, and will end on or about August 15, 2021.
To support the licensing process, the Canadian Transportation Agency (Agency) must determine under section 8 of the Act whether a suitable Canadian ship is available to provide the service.
Agency staff gave notice of the application to the Canadian marine industry, and no Canadian ships were offered. Therefore, the Agency determines that there is no suitable Canadian ship available to perform the activity.
The Minister considers the Agency's Determination in deciding whether to issue the licence. This Determination is not an authority to operate.
