DP World Joins Efforts to Develop Trade Through Canada’s Port of Churchill

DP World has entered into a new partnership with the operators of Canada’s northern Port of Churchill, along with CentrePort Canada, which operates Canada’s largest tri-modal inland port and Foreign Trade Zone. It is the latest in a series of steps supported by the provincial and federal government to develop Manitoba’s port as Canada seeks to build new international trade opportunities.

Under the terms of the agreement, Arctic Gateway, which operates the Port of Churchill and the Hudson Bay Railway, will work with DP World and CentrePoint for the potential development of an integrated transportation corridor. The goal is to link Manitoba and central Canada’s manufacturing and natural resources through the Port of Churchill to DP World’s global logistics network. Today’s agreement focuses on port operations, logistics services, and the future development of the network.

“Canada is building stronger, more resilient trade corridors that connect Canadian businesses to markets around the world,” said Steven MacKinnon, Minister of Transport and Leader of the Government in the House of Commons. “This agreement between the Arctic Gateway Group, CentrePort, and DP World is an important opportunity to strengthen connections between northern, inland, and global transportation networks, diversify our routes, and create new opportunities for Canadian exporters.”
