Seaforth Environmental Service Ltd. operates at the frontline of marine environmental protection in Vancouver Harbour, where industrial activity, vessel traffic, and sensitive ecosystems intersect daily. At the core of our operations is a primary focus: containing oil and other pollutants in the rare occurrence of a spill.
Our primary line of work, pollution containment booming, is a critical safeguard for the harbour. Whether deployed proactively during high-risk marine operations or rapidly in response to spills, our containment systems are engineered for reliability and durability in dynamic coastal conditions. From oil and fuel transfers to ship maintenance and construction projects, Seaforth crews are trusted to install, monitor, deploy, and manage boom systems that isolate contaminants and protect surrounding waters.
What sets Seaforth apart is not just what we do, but how we do it. Environmental stewardship is embedded in our operational model, exemplified by the recent addition of a zero-emission, electric-propulsion tugboat to our fleet. This vessel represents a significant step forward in reducing the carbon footprint of harbour operations while maintaining the performance and reliability required for demanding marine work. It allows us to carry out containment, towing, and support activities with minimal environmental impact—aligning our practices with the very outcomes we strive to protect.
Beyond containment booming, Seaforth provides a comprehensive suite of marine services that support both environmental protection and waterfront development. Our landing craft services enable efficient transport of equipment and materials to challenging or remote shoreline locations, while our water taxi operations provide safe, reliable personnel transfer across the harbour.
We are a trusted provider of high-quality, durable turbidity (silt) curtains, and provide installation, deployment, and maintenance support throughout every stage of a project. This service is critical for maintaining water quality and protecting marine habitats during development activities. Complementing this, our teams carry out on-water construction, dock building, and structural repairs, delivering durable infrastructure solutions tailored to the coastal environment.
Seaforth’s expertise extends further into anchoring systems and small-scale tug and barge operations, supporting a wide range of marine projects—from environmental remediation and water sampling to diver support operations for large commercial vessels, including cruise ships and tankers. Each service is backed by a commitment to safety, operational excellence, and environmental responsibility.
Working in Vancouver Harbour requires more than capability—it requires accountability. Seaforth Environmental Service Ltd. understands the importance of protecting one of the region’s most vital and visible waterways
