It’s unfortunate, but TKMS—or rather, Germany—won. As a Korean, I’m disappointed, but there’s nothing we can do about it. We’ll just have to do better next time.
As the Canadian prime minister said, there will surely be other areas for cooperation with Canada outside of the defense sector.

Also in that article Stephen Fuhr, Canada’s Secretary of State for Defence Procurement said the federal decision would ultimately “come down to cost, timeline and economic benefits to Canada.”

Can you explain this,how can the German deal be better then the South-Korean one?

I don't know the details so I can't explain such. The Canadian PM stated the two were very close proposals. I assume (speculate) that means assessed pretty much overall mostly equal - so as to what were the deciding factors ? I can't say.

While I was hoping to see the South Korean KSS-III batch-II chosen, both boats are good, and it was IMHO a win-win for the Canadian navy no matter which boat the Canadian government chose IMHO.

Its now the German TKMS contract to lose, if they should fail in the upcoming negotiations with Canada.
