About Us

The original shipbuilding facility was started in 1977 because of a demand for wooden fishing vessels. In 1979 the company expanded to the present ten acre site comprised of buildings, wharves and launchways. With a keen eye on the future, the shipyard has concentrated on steel development since 1981, which has proven to be a successful move.

Since 1986, Glovertown Shipyard Ltd. has catered to the local inshore fishing vessel market. Mastery of vessels ranging from 45′-65′ and a construction capacity of 120′ has led to a reputation for technological advancement and structural sturdiness. Diversification into ship maintenance and steel fabrication projects will continue to be a key factor in its growth and success.

The management team is professional and aggressive in developing its interests in all steel construction work. In keeping abreast of technology and demand, Glovertown Shipyard Ltd. has investigated Canadian and overseas markets, as well as the offshore oil industry. Modern quality control and quality assurance programs complement the company’s progressive nature.

Benefits in improved transportation, fishing and offshore oil development will be reaped by clients who recognize Glovertown Shipyard’s commitment to positive attitudes, top-quality products and excellence in entrepreneurism.
