The ship was launched on April 19, 2007, and has completed major construction. The ship left FSG for her delivery voyage to British Columbia on October 27, 2007. She transited the Panama Canal on November 21.

The ship arrived in Nanaimo on December 13, 2007, after passing by Victoria and looping around Vancouver Harbour. After post-delivery activities, including crew training, she entered service.
