Description of the Project and Services The Government of Canada is procuring new River Class Destroyer (RCD) vessels to modernize and enhance the capabilities of the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN); as part of this initiative, infrastructure adjustments are required to effectively accommodate the modernized fleet. The scope of this project includes the full demolition and replacement of Jetty NB, as well as the reconstruction and recapitalization of Karlsen’s Wharf, located at the southern end of the Dockyard.
