The greenest fleet in the world! When HaiSea Marine was still a dream, Seaspan promised the Haisla Nation that they would design and build the greenest tugboat fleet in the world to protect their waters, that they would create job opportunities for Haisla Nation members. That dream became a joint venture partnership between Haisla Nation and Seaspan. Today, the greenest tugboat fleet in the world is together in Kitimat to support the safe passage of LNG carriers to and from LNG Canada’s export facility. HaiSea’s fleet is made up of three electric harbour tugs: the HaiSea Wamis, Wee’git and Brave and 100% of their harbour operations will be performed on rechargeable battery power. And two powerful dual fuel escort tugs: the HaiSea Kermode and Warrior – the West Coast of Canada’s most powerful escort tugs. To celebrate the arrival of the final tugboat, the HaiSea Warrior, the full fleet sailed through the Vancouver Harbour, Deep Cove, and up Indian Arm to test out various formations, and put on a show for local kayakers, paddlers, and boaters. The unanimous crew favorite formation was naturally the “flying V.” Built by Sanmar Shipyards in Turkiye, designed by Rob Allan.

These fine art prints are the perfect alternative to an original. Printed right here on Vancouver Island, these prints have the look and feel of something I have painted myself.

Canvas Print

The natural texture of the canvas produces prints that are often hard to tell from the art original, and because they are not behind glass, offer stunning, rich-colour views from any angle. Award-winning breathing Color LYVE canvas, OBA free, truly archival, & carefully coated with satin coating, which are certified 100+ year archival by the Fine Art Trade Guild. Ready to hang with black side treatment. The stretcher bars are responsibly sourced from sustainable paulownia wood. This lightweight wood is sturdy, durable, and resistant to environmental changes. Canvas prints are a wonderful wall art option because they can look beautifully tailored without an external frame.

Fine Art Paper

“Elegance Velvet” paper is a cold press paper, featuring a subtle texture similar to that of cold pressed watercolor paper. It weighs 300 gsm, giving it a substantial, heavy feel. Made from 100% cotton rag, it is naturally acid-free and archival, making it a standard choice for professional Fine Art reproduction prints. Its longevity is rated for over 100 years. As with most modern prints and papers, when properly stored and framed, they typically exceed the official 100-year rating for fade resistance and durability.
