Sealift services · Ottawa to the North

BULK FREIGHT NORTH, HANDLED END TO END.

We ship to every community served by sealift across Nunavut and the Northwest Territories. Send us your cargo and we package it, document it, and see it onto the ship — plus a shared group seacan to Iqaluit if that's where you're headed.

How it works

THREE STEPS FROM YOUR ORDER TO YOUR COMMUNITY

Sealift runs on a short seasonal window. Getting your goods on it comes down to registering early, letting us prepare the shipment, and waiting for the ship — wherever in the North you're shipping to.

Step 01----------------------------------------------------------------

PLACE YOUR ORDER OR REGISTER

If you're in any community served by sealift and need bulk items or a large shipment, start here.

*Order directly from any store or supplier and ship to our warehouse.
*Need help sourcing? Pre-register for a custom sealift and we handle procurement.

Step 02----------------------------------------------------------------

WE HANDLE THE DETAILS

Once registered, you receive a contract number. Tell us about additional shipments, procurement needs, or pickups and our team will:

*Package and document everything for a clean sealift process.
*Book the right space for your destination — including our shared group seacan if you're shipping to Iqaluit.

Step 03----------------------------------------------------------------

YOUR GOODS ARE DELIVERED

All Nunavut Communities — We ship to every community across Nunavut!

*General Goods (Grocery, Furniture, etc.): Shipped via consolidated group seacans for maximum protection and efficiency.
*Vehicles: Shipped using direct space allocations on the vessel.

THE GROUP SEACAN ADVANTAGE

We sealift to every community in the North. For Iqaluit we go one step further and run shared group seacans, so you split the container and the cost with other shippers instead of booking one on your own.
