CME West Coast

Port Alberni BC

Alberni Engineering was started in 1914 and is now a unit of Canadian Maritime Engineering, which has renamed it CME West Coast. In 2014, they absorbed Kamma & Blake Industries, an innovative local builder of aluminum boats: their record is appended to the table below. Visit the company at cmewestcoast.com. There is a lot of confusion in the later years of this table, with a bunch of boats that don't appear in the Canadian Register, either with official numbers or with C-numbers.
