The Port of Churchill’s ownership has signed a deal with a European port for “trade, collaboration and long-term partnership.”
The Arctic Gateway Group and the Port of Antwerp-Bruges International’s agreement will focus on developing transport of materials including critical minerals, energy products, fertilizer and other agricultural products to Europe, and importing European equipment into Churchill.
“The world is taking notice of what we are building in northern Manitoba and see real value in shipping through Churchill,” Chris Avery, the president and CEO of Arctic Gateway Group, said in a press release issued Tuesday.
The Port of Antwerp-Bruges International, based in Belgium, moves nearly 300 million tonnes of cargo every year.
“Canada is a trusted partner, and the Port of Churchill is a strategic Arctic gateway with significant long-term potential for the exchange of valuable resources between Europe, Manitoba, and the Canadian west,” said Kristof Waterschoot, the CEO of the Port of Antwerp-Bruges International.
Tuesday’s press release from Arctic Gateway Group said the partnership would also include exploring “current and future trade flows” between the two ports and the broader European market and seek funding opportunities for trade studies and initiatives.
