Grain moved through Churchill (UN/LOCODE CA CHV) for the first time since 2020 on 17 July 2026, travelling by rail from The Pas along the Hudson Bay Railway to Canada's only deepwater Arctic seaport with a connection to the North American rail network. Situated where the Churchill River meets Hudson Bay, the port is owned and operated by Arctic Gateway Group, a partnership of 29 First Nations and 12 northern communities in Manitoba. 2026 is shaping up to be the most diversified shipping season in the port's history, with grain, potash, critical minerals, industrial goods and resupply cargo for Nunavut all planned for shipment. There is no container terminal; Churchill handles bulk and general cargo during a short, ice-limited season running roughly from July to November. The single rail line to The Pas is the only hinterland link, as no through road reaches the port. Customs and export processing are handled on-site by Canadian federal authorities, while Thunder Bay and Vancouver serve as year-round alternatives for bulk cargo.
