Our marine base in the Vancouver Harbour provides support to our fleet of crane mounted marine derricks, scows, truck cranes, and workboats. The capacity of our fleet of marine derricks is the largest in Western Canada with cranes rated to 350 tons.

Among VPDL’s growing list of capabilities, we have an extremely active Small Contracts Division, which specializes in providing long term maintenance and repair services around the Vancouver Harbour, along the Fraser River and up and down the South Coast of British Columbia.

In addition to our completely outfitted welding and mechanical shops, our North Vancouver yard is also equipped with a graving drydock which is used to precast concrete caissons for marine terminals and to build floating concrete structures for marinas and breakwaters.
