Canadian Coast Guard Expands Bases, Boosts Maritime Security
The Canadian Coast Guard is expanding its bases in Greater Victoria to accommodate larger ships, investing in shore power connections. This upgrade supports the Coast Guards West Coast headquarters and its fleet of 121 vessels. Over the past decade, the federal government has spent billions on fleet renewal, ordering icebreakers and smaller craft. The Coast Guards shift to the Department of National Defence has been praised for focusing on operations. Prime Minister Mark Carneys announcement to dedicate up to five percent of GDP to security by 2035 has excited local firms, who offer advanced marine tech tools to modernize the Coast Guards watch over Canadian waters.
