French company scores huge Australian submarine contract
April 26, 2016 by By Rod Mcguirk And Raphael Satter
Australia's largest-ever defense contract has gone to a French shipbuilder to produce a new generation of submarines, thrilling officials in Paris and inaugurating half a century of close defense cooperation between the nations.
French state-controlled defense contractor DCNS won out over Germany's ThysennKrupp Marine Systems and Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to build 12 conventional submarines that the Australian navy expects will cost at least 56 billion Australian dollars ($43 billion), a deal which French media hailed as the contract of the century.
"Today is really a wonderful moment to celebrate the future of the Australian and French bilateral relationship," Australian Ambassador Stephen Brady told reporters at Paris' city hall Tuesday. He said the tender was a "fiercely contested process," but that France's bid was "technically outstanding."
French officials fell over each other to congratulate themselves. The focus—as often in France—was on the 3,000 to 4,000 jobs it was expected to be created at DCNS and its partners, even though most if not all the submarines will be built in the Australian manufacturing hub of Adelaide.
President Francois Hollande said in a statement that the deal was a "decisive step forward" in the strategic partnership between France and Australia. Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told Europe 1 radio that the contract was a "major victory for the French naval industry" which would create thousands of new jobs.
"We're 'married' to Australia for 50 years," he said, referring to the maintenance work expected to be done over the ships' lifetimes.
