Container Service Suggested For Churchill Port
A Churchill Port Commission report urges containerized cargo handling at Hudson Bay’s Churchill port to boost western Canadian imports. It cites a 1971 grain export peak, many grain ships arriving empty, and argues that a dedicated container crane is unnecessary until volumes rise.
