Introduction to Seaspan Welding Centre of Excellence
The Seaspan Centre of Excellence (COE) has been established to enhance welding capability and productivity. The COE comprises three primary areas: (i) Welder Training and Qualification, ensuring the performance and competency of welders, (ii) Welding Technology Centre, dedicated to researching new consumables, processes, and technologies, and (iii) Welding and Material Testing Lab, which supports testing for welding procedure qualifications and material verification. The Welding and Material Testing Lab is certified to CSA W178.1 and is currently undergoing the process of obtaining ISO 17025 accreditation. With a team of welding and materials experts, the COE is equipped to conduct root cause analyses and provide engineering solutions to address welding production challenges, as well as recommend opportunities to improve quality and productivity. Since the beginning of 2023, the COE has been involved in several key projects of the National Shipbuilding Strategy, including procedure qualification for the Polar Icebreaker project.
