Project Resolve

Project Resolve is the name of a pan-consortium made up of <a href="/facts/Davie_Shipbuilding/s5PH6Q9S">Chantier Davie Canada</a>, <a href="/facts/Aecon/rafcWB7T">Aecon</a> Pictou Shipyard of <a href="/facts/Pictou,_Nova_Scotia/GB80Y4kF">Pictou, Nova Scotia</a> and NavTech, a naval architectural firm, to develop an interim fleet supply vessel for the <a href="/facts/Royal_Canadian_Navy/eSRkBetN">Royal Canadian Navy</a> (RCN) until the previously-ordered <a href="/facts/Protecteur-class_auxiliary_vessel/C8dsbEn6">Protecteur-class</a> <a href="/facts/Auxiliary_vessel/PI6Rdc8H">auxiliary vessels</a> are complete. As of 2016, the project purchased <a href="/facts/MV_Asterix/xHYmCaMD">MS Asterix</a>, a commercial <a href="/facts/Container_ship/IV91jDh9">container ship</a>, and is converting the vessel into an auxiliary naval <a href="/facts/Replenishment_ship/v9KsqGuJ">replenishment ship</a> that will be rented by the Royal Canadian Navy. The conversion was expected to be completed and the ship active in service by 2017. In late 2017, Davie proposed extending the project through the conversion of a second ship to ensure full capability for both the <a href="/facts/Maritime_Forces_Atlantic/2uJ7XSav">Atlantic</a> and <a href="/facts/Maritime_Forces_Pacific/Ke5sWdT4">Pacific</a> fleets.
