Hanwha Ocean has begun full-fledged discussions on expanding cooperation with the Canadian Nova Scotia State Government and Irving Shipyard.

Hanwha Ocean recently met with state officials, including Prime Minister Tim Houston Nova Scotia, to discuss defense and industrial cooperation measures.

In line with Canada's defense modernization stance, they exchanged opinions on major issues such as strengthening defense readiness, securing maintenance, maintenance, and maintenance (MRO) capabilities, training local personnel, and establishing an industrial foundation.

Hanwha Ocean shared its long-term industry participation and maintenance strategy in relation to the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project (CPSP) and expressed its willingness to expand its industry contribution in Canada.

Nova Scotia is an area with an industrial base suitable for shipbuilding and long-term maintenance (MRO) and also has competitive edge in high-tech industries such as aerospace, offshore wind power, and artificial intelligence.

Irving Shipyard is Canada's largest shipyard that simultaneously carries out major naval projects being pursued by Canada, including Arctic and coastal patrol ships, Halifax-class frigate MRO, and river-class destroyer projects with next-generation Aegis systems.

"We will build a rapid electrification and stable maintenance, maintenance, and maintenance (MRO) system in the process of winning the Canadian Submarine Project (CPSP)," said Hanwha Ocean's Heechul Kim CEO. "We will build a sustainable submarine operation ecosystem centered on Canada and continue to strengthen our competitiveness through close cooperation with Canadian industry and the government."
