Where
Water Meets
Mettle
WE ARE – The Largest Canadian Ship Repair and Construction Company on the Great Lakes
Mettle (met·tle) is defined in the dictionary as “the ability to meet a challenge or persevere under demanding circumstances; determination or resolve.” What we do is not easy, but we employ a crew of hard-working men and women that have the mettle to do what needs to be done to solve our clients’ challenges.
Heddle Shipyards is WHERE WATER MEETS METTLE.
Health and Safety
Safety is Heddle Shipyards’ most important project every day.
Our corporate values reflect the importance of our employees’ safety and their wellbeing: Everyone goes home to their families at the end of their shift – EVERYONE GOES HOME. Period.
“Heddle Shipyards growth and expansion continues to provide Canada Steamship Lines quality vessel life cycle services (dry-dock, coating, and major steel repairs) for our Canadian flagged fleet. Over the past few years, CSL has executed a variety of complex ship repair projects at both the Port Weller Dry Docks and the Thunder Bay Shipyard. Heddle Shipyards has the capacity and capabilities to support CSL and keep our ships on the water and trading safely.”
