Tankers Built in Canada Since WWII

Most recent update: August 15, 2017.

Since the end of World War II, Canadian shipyards have built 77 tankers, all product/chemical carriers: the last of these was delivered in 1982 and none are in Canadian-flag service today, although several are still operating under foreign flags.
