OUR STORY
Taking to the water for the first time over 75 years ago, we’ve been innovating ever since. Known primarily for our successful navigation of the Canadian Arctic, we forged complex routes through unknown waters, always staying true to our purpose of doing things the right way for our clients. We have grown to become Canada’s largest oceangoing bulk shipping company, mastering a multitude of complex routes on both the Great Lakes and the Arctic. With our arsenal of over 60 owned vessels, we offer a seamless shipping experience for our customers. We’re proud to represent the highest standard of global service possible.
