Naval

The naval industry, also known as the maritime sector, encompasses the design, construction, maintenance, and operation of ships and maritime infrastructure. This sector is crucial for global trade, passenger transport, defense, and leisure. Key players include shipyards that build vessels ranging from container ships, icebreakers, and ferries to warships. Maritime equipment suppliers, such as marine engines and navigation systems, also play an essential role.

In the naval industry, rigorous management is crucial for coordinating resources, meeting deadlines, and controlling costs. This involves overseeing shipyards, managing teams, and coordinating with maritime equipment suppliers. Special attention to safety standards, quality, and risk management ensures effective planning and compliance with technical and regulatory specifications at every stage of the project.

The Naval Industry in Quebec

The maritime industry in Quebec plays an important role in the province’s economy. Quebec has significant expertise in several segments of the naval market, including the manufacturing, maintenance, repair, and upgrading of ships.

The cities of Sorel-Tracy, Lévis, and Saguenay actively collaborate to develop this sector.

Additionally, Davie Shipyard, one of Quebec’s leading shipyards, recently secured a major new contract. Despite its importance, the Quebec naval industry often faces challenges in gaining the recognition and support it needs from various levels of government.
