The Port of Churchill’s owner has inked a deal with an Inuit-led company to improve its Nunavut supply chains.

Arctic Gateway Group announced today a new memorandum of understanding with Nunavut Sealink and Supply Inc. (NSSI), a sealift carrier that transports general cargo and fuel.

The two groups will look to launch a Churchill-origin sealift as early as next year. They’ll work together on rail, port and sealift supply chains reaching Nunavut’s Kivalliq region.
