With the advent of major oil exploration activity in the 1970s in the Beaufort Sea, the focus of shipbuilding in Canada shifted increasingly towards the Arctic. The rigorous service and severe environment demand vessels of the highest standards and quality in design and construction. Robert Allan Ltd. has designed numerous tugs, supply vessels, barges and other specialized craft supporting offshore exploration. Building on that experience, Robert Allan Ltd. designs have recently been delivered to operators in the Caspian Sea and at Sakhalin Island.
One of Canada's most storied naval architecture firms, Robert Allan Ltd., and Canada's leading arctic and offshore engineering firm, Ausenco Sandwell, have announced they have formed a joint venture — Canada's Arctic SAGE Team — to bid for the design of the Canadian Coast Guard's new flagship icebreaker.
