WINNIPEG \u2014 Arctic Gateway Group has partnered with Canadian shipping company Fednav to examine the operational requirements that would be necessary to support year-round shipping from the Port of Churchill. The work for this review is underway and is expected to be completed this summer.<\/p>\n
Per a Feb. 20 press release, Fednav\u2019s work with AGG will focus on understanding the operational considerations of navigating ice-covered waters in Hudson Bay. This work is intended to inform Arctic Gateway\u2019s long-term business planning. The work will examine known ice conditions, patterns, extended shipping seasons and the efforts and investments required.<\/p>\n
Any future consideration of year-round shipping or icebreaking would require extensive engagement with Indigenous partners, northern communities, governments, and environmental stakeholders.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we continue to grow AGG\u2019s business at the Port of Churchill, we need to understand what would be required to support year-round shipping from an operational standpoint,\u201d said Chris Avery, President & CEO, Arctic Gateway Group. \u201cThis is about business planning, and it\u2019s one piece of a broader set of work being advanced in Hudson Bay. We\u2019re doing this with full recognition that all future paths involve extensive consultation, regulatory review, and alignment with Indigenous partners, communities, governments, and industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
The expansion of trade corridors and investments in Western Hudson Bay is currently the subject of multi-party research and planning. This includes work led by the Arctic Research Foundation in collaboration with provincial and federal partners. AGG\u2019s work with Fednav is complementary to these broader initiatives. <\/p>\n
Fednav will rpoertedly draw on decades of Arctic operating experience, including Arctic-certified captains and in-house ice specialists, to assess historical ice conditions, navigation constraints, and operational requirements specific to Hudson Bay and the marine approaches to Churchill.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
