加拿大确认逾110亿加元六艘破冰船项目，Algoma Steel仅属未坐实供应链映射

Canada plans to spend more than C$11 billion, or about $7.9 billion, on six new Coast Guard icebreakers as Prime Minister Mark Carney seeks to strengthen the country’s maritime capabilities and direct more defense-related spending to domestic manufacturers.
The vessels will be built in partnership with Chantier Davie Canada at its shipyard in Lévis, Quebec. They will replace aging heavy and medium icebreakers used along Canada’s east coast during winter and across the Arctic during summer.
“We will move fast. The first steel will be cut next fall, the first ship will be delivered five years later, and the full fleet will be in service five years after that,” Carney said in prepared remarks Monday.
The multiyear shipbuilding program could provide a long pipeline of work for Canadian steelmakers, equipment suppliers and marine contractors. Algoma Steel Group (ASTL) is among the companies expected to supply Canadian-produced and fabricated steel for the vessels. However, the lengthy construction schedule means the economic benefits are likely to emerge gradually.
The investment is part of Carney’s broader effort to modernize Canada’s military and expand domestic defense production. His government introduced a defense industrial strategy earlier this year that calls for more of the country’s growing military budget to be spent at home.
The program also reflects Canada’s focus on asserting control over its vast Arctic territory as relations with the United States become less predictable. President Donald Trump recently imposed 50% tariffs on $20 billion of Canadian goods and threatened similar levies on automobiles and parts.
“The sovereignty of our country with the world’s largest coastline depends on our strength at sea. The Coast Guard is central to that strength,” Carney said.
