Description:
Alongside Marco polo Cruise terminal.
The CCGS Teleost is a Canadian Coast Guard research vessel. Ship was built in 1988 in Norway and commissioned into the CCG. She is one of the few foreign built ships serving the CCG.
In September 2009 the Department of Fisheries and Oceans announced invitations for contracts to replace several of the Coast Guards research vessels, including Teleost. Her replacement will be larger, 67 metres in length. She will be staffed by a crew of 25, and will be able to carry an additional staff of 18 scientists. She is scheduled to be completed in 2011 or 2012.
The ship was originally constructed in Norway in 1988 as a commercial fishing trawler named Atlantic Champion. In 1993, the Canadian government purchased the vessel and after a competition, the vessel was named Teleost by the winner. The vessel was converted to an offshore fisheries research vessel in 1994–1995 and entered service in 1996 with the Canadian Coast Guard.
