CFB Esquimalt A/B Jetty
Recapitalization Project
$1.1 BILLION
The aim of the A/B Jetty project is to demolish and
replace the old A and B jetties at CFB Esquimalt’s Dockyard,
which were constructed during World War II. The A/B Jetty
project supports Canada’s National Shipbuilding Procurement
Strategy, which is delivering modern ships to the Royal Canadian Navy over the next 30 years. The new fully integrated A/B
Jetty facility will be home to several of these Canadian-built
vessels, including the new Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship and
Joint Support Ship, and in due course the future Canadian
Surface Combatant ships.
