The Hudson Bay Port Co. and Braden Burry Expediting recently developed a new service to Canada's Nunavut territory through the Port of Churchill, Manitoba. The expedited service will provide freight shippers in Nunavut’s Kivalliq Region a through rate from Winnipeg to towns on Hudson Bay’s western shore, according to the companies.

Braden Burry Expediting will provide logistical and stevedoring services for freight moving from Winnipeg, Manitoba, to towns in Nunavut. The company will use a Winnipeg warehouse to consolidate and stage freight for truck moves to Thompson or The Pas, where the Hudson Bay Railway Co. will transport the cargo to Churchill. At the port, Braden Burry Expediting will transfer freight onto ships or barges for delivery to customers.

Shippers will benefit from frequent service options and "not have to rely on once-a-season deliveries from the East Coast,” said Pat Avery, vice president of energy and commodities for OmniTRAX Canada Inc. — which owns the Churchill port — in a prepared statement.
