Canada Forest Navigation, CANFORNAVfor short, is a growing Canadian based deep sea shipping company. Its current fleet of 47 ships trade internationally in and out of the Great Lakes. All owned or chartered bulk carriers, they are registered offshore. Their green hull colour is distinctive - as are the ship's names which are all species of ducks.
One of their newest ships, the Handysize Yellowbill, arrived in Halifax this afternoon, April 17, and anchored in the lower harbour. It was soon met by the launch Halmar presumably bearing inspectors from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
At 32 m wide, it is too large for the St.Lawrence Seaway and comes in at 25,069 gt, 39,633 dwt and carries four 31 tonne SWL cranes. It was delivered in Jul 2025 by Saiki Heavy Industries in Saiki, Japan. CANFORNAV ships are frequent grain carriers, despite the name of the operating company.
The ship arrived from Asian ports, most recently Singapore, and is due to sail this evening for Quebec City likely for grain.
