R.J. MacIsaac Construction Ltd. is honoured to have been selected by the Canadian Department of Fisheries & Oceans to responsibly dispose the scientific research vessel CCGS Hudson.

The Hudson has a proud, 59 year history of service to the Canadian and international oceanographic community including a world cruise in 1970. The Canadian Coast Guard took the decision to decommission the Hudson following a catastrophic mechanical failure in 2021 making it uneconomical to repair.

RJMI will honour the CCGS Hudson and the crew and scientists who served aboard her with a responsible disposal program at our green ship recycling facility in Sheet Harbour NS.
