Moving Goods Across
Canada's Arctic Frontier
Nunavut has no road or rail connections to the south. Every item -- from building materials to groceries -- arrives by annual sealift or air freight. We connect logistics companies with the territory's supply chain opportunities.
Industry Overview
Arctic Supply Chain Lifelines
Nunavut's logistics sector is the lifeline connecting 25 communities spread across 2 million square kilometres. Nunavut Eastern Arctic Shipping (NEAS) is the primary sealift carrier serving the territory's annual resupply operations during the July-October shipping window. Canadian North Airlines provides year-round passenger and cargo air service to communities across the territory.
The federal government's $1 billion investment in northern trade and transportation infrastructure, including the Qikiqtarjuaq Deep Sea Port and Iqaluit airport expansion, is transforming the territory's logistics capacity. The proposed Grays Bay Road and Port project in the Kitikmeot region could create the first all-weather road connection to southern Canada.
For logistics companies, fuel distributors, freight forwarders, and supply chain technology providers, Nunavut offers a growing market where reliable service commands premium value and long-term contracts.
