Following the announcement, shares of Hanwha Ocean experienced a substantial decline, falling approximately 23% on the stock market. This sharp drop in value is directly attributed to the company losing the competitive bid for the Canadian submarine contract.

Reports indicate that Germany's bid was described as 'unbeatable' by sources within Germany. The contract represents a significant opportunity for the chosen bidder to supply Canada with its future submarine capabilities.
