The four new SKEENA 5500 Class bulk/container barges for Seaspan International Ltd. were launched in November of 2007 at Nantong Mingde Heavy Industries Ltd. in Nantong, China. The barges were designed by Capilano Maritime Design Ltd. of North Vancouver, BC for this fast track project which will be less than a year from the design board to delivery. Mr. Mark Mulligan, P.Eng. was the Design Project Manager for Capilano Maritime, working closely with Seaspan’s Manager of Business Development, Wayne Poole and Engineering Manager, John Fowlis. Construction oversight was provided by Greathorse Shipping Limited of Shanghai, China. The barges are being towed back from China by the tug Seaspan Commodore in a tandem tow of double-stacked barges. The attached photo shows the barges departing Honolulu enroute to BC.

Capilano Maritime is pleased to announce that Callum Campbell has recently joined the firm as senior naval architect. Mr. Campbell joins CMDL from BMT Fleet Technology in Vancouver, BC where he held a position as naval architect. He was most recently the principal designer of the new aluminum catamaran passenger ferry SeaBus for TransLink currently under construction at Victoria Shipyards Co. Ltd.
