POLAR ICEBREAKER

As part of the National Shipbuilding Strategy,  Seaspan Shipyards will design
and build a Polar Icebreaker, the flagship of the Canadian Coast Guard’s
icebreaking fleet. Canada’s Polar Icebreaker will be 150 metres long and 28
metres wide, and able to accommodate up to 100 personnel. It will be able to
operate farther north, in more difficult ice conditions and for longer periods
than any icebreaker Canada has.

POLAR ICEBREAKER INDUSTRY DAY – ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

1. I’ve registered on Seaspan’s Supplier Portal but did not receive an email
confirmation. What’s next?

Registering is the first step in the supplier engagement process. Although you
did not receive an email after your registration, rest assured that our Supply
Chain team has received your submission and is reviewing your information in
preparation for future Polar RFP opportunities.

If a product or service you supply matches our criteria for what we are looking
for, we will reach out to you directly.  Please ensure your contact information
in our Supplier Portal is kept up to date.

2. Is additional prequalification required to be selected as a potential
supplier for a future Polar RFP package? How will the RFPs be sent out?

If you have registered on Seaspan’s Supplier Portal, there are no additional
actions required at this time. When we are ready to release RFP packages, we
will communicate next steps for these opportunities through email.

3. Are non-Canadian suppliers being considered for the Polar Program?

Non-Canadian suppliers willing to invest long-term into the Canadian economy
through maximizing Canadian content are welcome as potential partners. Canadian
content is a primary consideration in Seaspan’s RFP process, in alignment with
the Government of Canada’s Industrial Regional Benefits (IRB) Policy. This can
be accomplished by providing direct Canadian content through procurement of
Canadian material and services, and indirectly through investments made in
Canada, such as partnerships with Canadian small and medium-sized business,
research & development,  and skills development and training opportunities
within Canada.

4. Does the Industrial Regional Benefits (IRB) Policy apply on all Seaspan
programs? What does that mean for a potential supplier for the Polar Program?

Under the National Shipbuilding Strategy (NSS), Seaspan’s contracts with the
Government of Canada are governed by the IRB policy. The IRB policy requires
companies to undertake business activities in Canada valued at 100 percent of
the value of the contracts they have been awarded– and is measured in Canadian
Content Value (CCV). To meet this obligation, Seaspan is looking to source from
Canadian suppliers, wherever commercially reasonable, and the CCV of the goods
and services offered by potential Canadian suppliers is a key consideration in
our supplier selection process.
