MIL-Davie Shipbuilding

Former ship building company

MIL-Davie Shipbuilding is a historic Canadian shipbuilding company that was located in both Sorel, Quebec (MIL) and Lauzon, Quebec (Davie).

In 1986, Marine Industries Limited merged with Davie Shipbuilding to become MIL-Davie Shipbuilding.[1]

The company declared bankruptcy in the early 2000s due to a lack of contracts and sold to Norwegian interests TECO Maritime.[2]

The Quebec facility, located on the St. Lawrence River across from Quebec City, was closed in 1997 and will be re-activated for a contract to be delivered in 2009 and renamed Davie Yards Incorporated.
