Germany’s defence major TKMS has been selected by the Canadian Government to supply up to twelve submarines to strengthen security, industrial cooperation, and collective defence across the North Atlantic.
The new alliance, which includes Norway, marks a new chapter in defence cooperation between the three NATO allies, yielding benefits for all three countries. For Canada, the investment represents a substantial commitment to long-term maritime security and sovereign capability. For Germany and Norway, the deal signifies a deepening partnership and a shared commitment to advancing transatlantic security, the partners said in a statement.
TKMS will supply as many as twelve 212CD submarines as part of Canada’s Canadian Patrol Submarine Project (CPSP). The contract boosts the TKMS orderbook by more than 50%.
Oliver Burkhard, chief executive of TKMS, commented: “We are proud to take on the largest single order in the history of TKMS … We stand ready to work alongside the Government of Canada, Canadian industry, and our partners in Germany and Norway to deliver a world-class submarine capability that will strengthen security, create economic opportunity, and generate lasting benefits for generations.”
