North Vancouver, B.C. – February 28, 2022. Seaspan Marine Transportation confirms that Seaspan’s lease of the Roberts Bank tug basin will cease, effective July 18, 2022, and operations will relocate to a new facility.

With more than a century of successful participation in coastal commerce in British Columbia, Seaspan Marine has an unwavering commitment to operational excellence, environmental protection, industry leading safety performance and customer service. We are a proud contributor to the Port’s ECHO program and various sustainability initiatives helping the Port achieve its sustainability and environmental goals. We will also continue to support local community groups and First Nations partnerships and will provide environmental leadership through our partnership with the Haisla Nation and investment in Canada’s first fully electric tugs for LNG Canada’s new export facility in Kitimat, BC.
