The latest update is out from Algoma Steel Group ( (TSE:ASTL) ).
On January 26, 2026, Algoma Steel announced that its subsidiary Algoma Steel Inc. signed a binding memorandum of understanding with South Korea’s Hanwha Ocean for a long-term strategic arrangement tied to Canada’s Canadian Patrol Submarine Project (CPSP). The MOU contemplates up to USD $250 million in aggregate value, including a USD $200 million cash contribution to support the potential development of a structural steel beam mill in Sault Ste. Marie and up to USD $50 million in purchases of Algoma products for submarine construction and related maintenance, repair and overhaul infrastructure, while Algoma would make 10 years of revenue-linked payments to Hanwha following beam mill start-up, subject to performance. The arrangement is contingent on Hanwha securing a CPSP contract and final definitive agreements, but underscores Ottawa’s Buy Canadian policy and could deepen Algoma’s role in domestic defense supply chains, bolster Canada’s industrial sovereignty and naval readiness, and create new skilled jobs if the contemplated beam mill proceeds.
