The Get on Board Winners Announced

The BC Shipbuilding and Ship Repair Board (SSRB) has announced the winners of the recent “Get on Board!” contest.

Current and past employees of B.C.’s shipbuilding sector were encouraged to enter and win a chance at one of three cash prizes by sharing a story, video, and/or survey about their experiences in the shipbuilding and ship repair industry.

Companies, including Seaspan, Point Hope Maritime, Meridian Marine Industries and others donated six thousand dollars in cash prizes towards the “Get on Board!” contest.

Selected stories and elements of the surveys received will be used throughout the development of the We are Shipbuilders campaign, which is geared at raising the awareness of career options and opportunities in British Columbia’s thriving shipbuilding and ship repair industry.

This campaign is based on the heart and soul of the industry – the shipbuilders.

The top three winners of the contest are:

First Place: $3000.00 Award – Glenn Gerbrandt, Seaspan Shipyards

Second Place: $2000.00 Award – Sean Lever, Meridian Marine

Third Place: $1000.00 Award – Brent Longton, BC Ferries
