HQ Function

The Lévis facility serves as the primary site for all shipbuilding, ship repair, conversion, and complex fabrication projects, as well as housing the company's core administrative, engineering, and executive functions.

Notable Features:

The shipyard is one of the largest in North America, featuring two large dry docks (Champlain and Lorne), deep-water berths, extensive covered fabrication halls, advanced welding and outfitting shops, and heavy-lift crane capacity. It is capable of handling some of the largest vessels on the St. Lawrence Seaway.

Work Culture:

The work culture at Davie is characterized by a strong focus on precision engineering, skilled trades craftsmanship, project management excellence, and stringent adherence to safety and quality standards. It's a dynamic environment driven by complex, large-scale projects vital to national interests.

HQ Significance:

The Lévis headquarters is historically significant as one of Canada's oldest continuously operating shipyards. Its strategic location and extensive capabilities make it vital for Canada's naval and coast guard fleet renewal, arctic sovereignty, and overall maritime industrial capacity.

Values Reflected in HQ: The headquarters reflects values of industrial strength, innovation in shipbuilding, dedication to national security, skilled craftsmanship, and long-term strategic vision for Canada's maritime future.

Location:

While Chantier Davie Canada Inc.'s primary shipbuilding and repair operations are concentrated in Canada, its impact is global. The company builds and services vessels that operate internationally, including ice-strengthened ships for Arctic operations and complex offshore vessels. Davie also engages with a global supply chain for materials and specialized equipment, and collaborates with international partners on technology and design. Its role in delivering assets for Canada's international maritime commitments (e.g., NATO deployments, international exercises) further extends its global relevance.
