Canada's Coastlines:

The Longest Under-Defended Borders in the World


APPENDIX IX

Canadian Coast Guard Fleet

List of Active and Inactive Vessels 

The active vessels listed below are those being operated by Canadian Coast Guard Personnel. The non-active large and small vessels are listed at the bottom. These vessels are in the fleet inventory but are not currently being funded, crewed or sailed. They may be facing a disposal decision, on standby to replace another vessel in the event of breakdown, or out of service for maintenance.  

The small vessels listed as Canadian Coast Guard College vessels are included in the non-active list because they are used for training at the College.  

The list does not include vessels transferred to Crown Assets for disposal.
