The CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent, which has provided vital icebreaking capabilities to the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) for over 50 years, will undergo major Vessel Life Extension (VLE) refit work for three months before re-entering service.
This represents the first phase of the VLE program for the CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent, which will keep the ship operating until Canada's two new Polar Class icebreakers enter service - CCGS John G Diefenbaker (CruiseMapper) in 2029, followed by a still unnamed sistership with planned commissioning in 2030.
