Port of Churchill resumes grain shipments for 1st time in 6 years - Winnipeg

The Port of Churchill in Manitoba resumed grain shipments for the first time in six years, loading about 30,000 tonnes of durum wheat from AGT Foods for Europe. Two more ships are scheduled to leave the port this season, and one will carry zinc concentrate and potash.

WHY IT MATTERS

Reopening an alternative Arctic export route adds a small amount of Canadian grain shipping capacity, which may slightly ease export logistics pressure in the region.
