Arctic Gateway Group, operator of the Port of Churchill, has signed an agreement with the Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands to attract business and strengthen supply chains linking Western Canada and Europe.
The agreement enables the two ports to work together to develop new trade in critical minerals and energy products, connect Canadian producers with European buyers, and identify opportunities to improve the supply chain from Western Canadian resource projects through Churchill and into European markets.
The Port of Rotterdam is Europe’s largest port and home to more than 3,000 businesses across its industrial complex, serving as a major gateway for critical raw materials and energy.

Meanwhile, the Port of Churchill has been identified as a transformative national strategy for Canada and is emerging as a northern trade corridor connecting Western Canada’s resources to global markets.
“The world is taking notice of what we are building in northern Manitoba, and major European ports recognize Churchill’s value as a shorter, more economical trade route from Western Canada,” Chris Avery, president and CEO at Arctic Gateway Group, said in a news release. “This agreement opens thousands of new doors for us to pursue import and export opportunities.”
