Dubai’s DP World in Talks on Alliance With Northern Canada Port

Oct 26, 2026 (Bloomberg) –Dubai’s DP World Ltd. is set to unveil a deal backing potential development of Canada’s port of Churchill, a northern outpost that Prime Minister Mark Carney aims to expand for exports to Europe and other markets.

The global port operator has negotiated a memorandum of understanding with two Canadian entities, including Arctic Gateway Group, the owner and operator of the Churchill port and an associated railway, according to two people familiar with the matter who requested they not be identified.

The agreement focuses on port operations and a possible transportation corridor to link Churchill with DP World’s global logistics network and inland port facilities managed by CentrePort Canada Inc.

Churchill is a remote town in the north of the Canadian province of Manitoba. It sits on Hudson Bay, which connects to the Atlantic Ocean via Arctic waterways. Its location means that it could someday become a gateway to ship Canadian resources like liquefied natural gas, grain, potash and other critical minerals to customers in the Middle East and Europe.
