Hanwha withdraws from Mohawk, Ontario Shipyards partnership

As a result of the Government of Canada’s recent selection of ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) as the preferred supplier for the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project, Hanwha Ocean has indicated that it will withdraw from a partnership focused on creating a training hub in Ontario. CBC and the Toronto Star report that the South Korean shipbuilder had originally planned to work with Mohawk College and Ontario Shipyards to build a training hub in Hamilton. Mohawk and Ontario Shipyards indicated that they intend to continue to work together on the project, as they have a standalone agreement that will continue after Hanwha’s withdrawal.
