Another successful summer of Next Wave is in the books! 🌊
This summer, we welcomed four fantastic groups of high school students for a fun, hands-on week of learning and exploration. Through Next Wave, students explored the exciting world of digital shipbuilding, getting a closer look at the technology, skills, and people behind the industry.

A big thank you to the Genoa crew members who shared their time and expertise throughout the program and helped make each week a success. We’d also like to thank NewDock for welcoming our students and giving them the opportunity to visit a working shipyard and see the industry firsthand. And, of course, thank you to all of our Next Wave students for bringing your curiosity and enthusiasm! 👏

Stay tuned—we’ll be sharing what some of our students had to say about their Next Wave experience!

📚 Another great discussion with Genoa’s DEIB Book Club!

For our latest session, we came together to discuss My Indian by Chief Mi’sel Joe and Sheila O’Neill. We’re already looking forward to continuing the story with Suliewey: The Sequel to My Indian!

Page Sailors was created to foster diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging through literature—providing a respectful space to explore diverse voices, broaden our perspectives and learn from one another. Conversations like this are at the heart of that mission.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and shared their thoughts and perspectives. 📖

⚓ From digital design to the shipyard floor!

As part of Genoa’s Gaining Ground initiative, our team travelled to Vancouver for Shipbuilding Development: Taking Designs to Production — a hands-on technical immersion designed to connect our day-to-day work with shipyard production.

Our Mentor Leads and Junior Designers got valuable “boots on the ground” experience, seeing firsthand how digital designs translate to the scale and complexity of physical ship construction.

Experiences like these are about more than technical skills. They’re about learning from one another, building production awareness, and giving our people opportunities to grow.

A big thank you to Vancouver Shipyards (VSY) for welcoming our crew and giving them the opportunity to tour the shipyard, learn from the teams on site, and see shipbuilding in action.

Genoa is proud to be providing detailed design support to Serco Canada Marine, who, as Design Agent to Senesco Marine, LLC, are providing functional and production engineering services on the new 75-car passenger ferry for the Delaware River and Bay Authority.

Genoa’s relationship with Serco goes back to the Joint Support Ship program and continues on the current Polar Icebreaker. Genoa also has a history with Senesco, working on up to 17 projects between 2006 and 2015, including Barges, tugs, and ferries.

Measuring 275 feet in length, the new DRBA ferry will accommodate up to 75 vehicles and 400 passengers and will feature a diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system. It will service the Cape May, New Jersey, to Lewes, Delaware route as part of a long-term Marine Master Plan developed to ensure a reliable, efficient, and sustainable ferry service for the next 40 years.

This project is smaller in scope than many of Genoa's current programs, but Genoa Talent Solutions is committed to delivering high-quality expertise to support successful ex*****on and strengthen our relationships with both Serco and Senesco.

🐾 In honour of International Dog Day yesterday, we’re celebrating some of the four-legged friends who have visited the Genoa office this year!

Did you know Genoa celebrates Furbaby Friday? Employees can bring their furry pals to the office for the day in exchange for a small donation, with all proceeds supporting the SPCA St.John's. 🐶💙

It’s a win-win: our pups get a day at the office, our team gets some extra furry coworkers, and together we get to support animals in our community.

Here are just a few of the very good boys and girls who have joined us this year. 🐕🐾
