The Esquimalt Graving Dock, or EGD, is proud to be federally
owned, operated, and maintained. EGD is the largest solid-bottom
commercial drydock on the West Coast of the Americas. We are located
in an ice free harbour on Vancouver Island near gateways to Alaska
and the Pacific Rim.
Our world class facilities include stabilizer
pockets and high-speed heavy
lift cranes up to 150 tonnes/165 tons. The Dock can accommodate
vessels up to 100,000 DWT or about 90% of the world's ships.
The EGD is an open public facility available
to any company or individual on a first-come first-serve basis.
All work is carried out by private sector ship
repair firms.
Who We Are
