The deployment was conducted at Point Hope Shipyards in Victoria BC by the ship's crew. The crew participated in the deployment test and demonstrated proficiency in the new equipment. The installation of the LSA Mini Slide on the MV Tachek is part of a $19 million major life extension project which prepares the 44-year old vessel for another 15 years of service.
