Who We Are
Canship Ugland Ltd. is a Canadian ship management company located in St. John’s, Newfoundland. The company started its operations in 1997 when the first oil produced on the Grand Banks was transported ashore. .
Canship operates in two key areas in Canada: the East Coast and the West Coast. On the East Coast, the company manages two local tugs, three pilot boats and one oil/chemical tanker in Placentia Bay, and one bulk carrier designed for ice operations off the coast of Labrador. On the West Coast, Canship owns and operates the CL Aquarius, to refuel ships in Burrard Inlet. In addition, Canship also manages two dynamically positioned (DP) shuttle tankers – two operate in the North Sea (Northern Europe)
