Sperry Marine delivers radar to Seaspan Shipyards for Canadian Coast Guard vessels

Sperry Marine reports that it has delivered a package of SCANTER surveillance radar systems to Seaspan Shipyards as part of the Canadian Coast Guard’s Polar Icebreaker and Multi-Purpose Icebreaker programs.

The delivery includes Terma’s SCANTER 4603 and SCANTER 6002 radar, designed for surface surveillance and medium-to-high level air coverage.

The technology is engineered for the detection and tracking of small targets in Arctic weather conditions, supporting operational awareness and vessel safety in northern environments.

The equipment will be installed on new Canadian Coast Guard vessels under construction at Seaspan’s Vancouver shipyard. These ships will support a range of missions including search and rescue, emergency response, and sovereignty patrols in Canadian waters.

“This project is not just about technological advancement, but also about fostering long-term operational effectiveness and strategic collaboration,” said Colin Ross, Sperry Marine’s Naval Sales Director based in Canada.

“It reinforces our dedication to supporting government partners in delivering secure, innovative maritime solutions.”
