Fincantieri bid
In early 2011, Davie announced a bid by Fincantieri – Cantieri Navali Italiani of Italy and Fincantieri subsidiary DRS Technologies Canada to purchase the shipyard from TECO.[1] This deal fell through in July 2011.
Seaway bid
After the Fincantieri deal fell through, the yard underwent financial restructuring in July 2011 in order to qualify to bid for a portion of the $40 billion contract known as the National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy which will see ships built for the Canadian Coast Guard, Canadian Forces and Department of Fisheries and Oceans.[2] This procurement strategy had its bidding deadline extended by 3 weeks specifically to accommodate the Davie restructuring.
Part of the restructuring of Davie involved changing ownership to a partnership between Seaway Marine & Industrial Inc. (owner of the Port Weller Dry Dock) through its subsidiary 7731299 Canada Inc, as well as Canadian engineering conglomerate SNC-Lavalin and South Korean shipbuilder Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME). Final details of the restructuring have not been revealed.
Presumably the restructured company will have a new name and will not be using the term "Davie Yards Inc."
