DP World explores Canada logistics corridor

DP World has joined Arctic Gateway Group and CentrePort Canada to explore a transport corridor that could improve cargo links between Canada and overseas markets, including the Middle East. The agreement focuses on connecting rail services, inland logistics facilities and global shipping networks.

The three parties will examine links between the Hudson Bay Railway, CentrePort’s inland logistics hub and DP World’s international network. The aim is to improve how goods move between northern Canada, inland distribution centres and international shipping routes.

The plan comes as Canada seeks to diversify its trade routes and strengthen supply chains. Better links between rail, logistics hubs and shipping services could give exporters more options to move goods to overseas buyers.

The Port of Churchill, operated by Arctic Gateway Group, handles commodities including grain, potash and critical minerals. Connecting these shipments to wider logistics networks could improve access to international markets.

Canada’s Transport Minister Steven MacKinnon said the agreement was “an important opportunity to strengthen connections between northern, inland and global transportation networks”.
