MIL-Davie Shipbuilding

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

MIL-Davie Shipbuilding is a shipbuilding company in Lauzon, Quebec.

In 1986, Marine Industries Limited merged with Davie Shipbuilding to become MIL-Davie Shipbuilding.

The company declared bankruptcy in the early 2000s due to a lack of contracts and has recently been sold to Norwegian interests.

The Quebec facility, located on the St. Lawrence River across from Quebec City, was closed in 1997 and will be re-activated for a contract to be delivered in 2009.
