Shipyard activity

Halifax Shipyard is a beehive of activity these days with work on the pier 6 extension barreling along. McNally Construction seems to have completed building concrete cribs and are demobilizing at pier 9C, although all cribs are not yet in position. There is also a steady stream of trucks arriving with precast concrete for the new parking structure. Building demolition is also continuing, and the wall along Barringtoin Street is receiving a new concrete cap:

And the latest patrol boat for the CCG, Coporal McLaren MMV started trials today, first in Bedford Basin [see Halifax Shipping News for some photos of the boat at speed] and then out to sea, returning late in the afternoon:
