Future Prospects for the Port of Churchill on Canada’s Hudson Bay

From The Maritime Executive

The Port of Churchill is located in the northeastern region of the Canadian province of Manitoba, where the premier (equivalent to a state governor) is seeking assistance from Canada’s Federal Government to develop the port for future exports of oil and agricultural bulk freight. Several years ago, there was opposition from environmentalists in Quebec to plans to develop a pipeline intended to carry oil and natural gas from Western Canada to eastern Canada’s Atlantic provinces. There was a need across Eastern Canada for competitively priced oil and natural gas from Western Canada.
