Seaspan Shipyards has launched the second Offshore Fisheries Science Vessel (OFSV) that the company is building for the Canadian Coast Guard.
The 63-metre vessel will be equipped with fishing trawls, laboratories, and a sensor-equipped drop keel.
The OFSV will serve as a platform for Fisheries and Oceans Canada scientists to monitor the health of fish stocks and to conduct oceans research.
