En la información presentada en los cuadros se distingue entre los buques de pesca y los demás buques. En esta última categoría figuran los buques de carga, los remolcadores y los buques de suministro y otros buques mercantes. Los Estados Unidos aportan información adicional sobre la utilización, venta, alquiler o reparación de los buques pertinentes. Se incluye una lista detallada de todos los buques mercantes (de 100 toneladas brutas o más) entregados y previstos para ser entregados (pedidos) en el período que va desde 2006 hasta 2018. Esta información comprende el nombre del buque, el tipo de buque, la situación, el tonelaje bruto, el constructor y el armador. También facilitan información detallada sobre los buques de pesca (de 5 toneladas netas o más) entregados en los Estados Unidos en el período que va desde 2006 hasta 2018, en la que se indica el nombre del buque, el tonelaje neto y el constructor. Ya no se facilita información detallada sobre los buques de pesca (de 5 toneladas netas o más) previstos para su entrega (pedidos) en los Estados Unidos; como se indicaba en la notificación de 2015, desde noviembre de 2014 esos datos ya no están disponibles. Por último, los Estados Unidos presentan información relativa al empleo en los sectores de la construcción y reparación naval en el país durante el período comprendido entre 2008 y 2018. Estos cuadros se basan en la mejor información de que se dispone actualmente. Habida cuenta de que los datos de que se trata pueden ser revisados o corregidos periódicamente, la información que figura en esta comunicación puede sufrir modificaciones.

Otherwise known as a suboptimal result, defence acquisitions regularly fall short of established delivery schedules, accruing cost-overruns, sometimes resulting in cancellation of key materiel. One-hundred percent of the twenty-five Major Crown Projects at the Department of National Defence have experienced delays in achieving key milestones. Aside from cost, suboptimal results are injurious to Canada’s tri-force military. Fortunately, the matter has not gone unchecked. A fairly recent surge in procurement research has generated a critical mass of Canadian-focused literature.
