John Howie, Babcock’s Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, signed the agreement alongside Mr Yong Ook Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of Naval Ship Business Unit at Hanwha Ocean, at the International Maritime and Defence Exhibition (MADEX) in Busan, South Korea.
John Howie said: “As a world leader in submarine sustainment, this agreement enables Babcock to build on our longstanding relationship with Hanwha Ocean and combine both organisations’ extensive experience on the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project.”
Yong Ook Lee said: “The CPSP will play an important role in modernizing the Royal Canadian Navy’s defence capabilities. Our collaboration with Babcock will enable us to support the Royal Canadian Navy by delivering advanced, reliable, and highly capable submarines that meet Canada’s needs.”
The agreement cements Babcock’s commitment to supporting the Royal Canadian Navy’s current and future Maritime programmes.
It also follows an MoU signed between Babcock and Hanwha Ocean in 2022 to collaborate on systems integration programmes for future vessels.
