The North presents unique challenges—and opportunities—for industries pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. At BBE, we’ve spent over four decades helping companies overcome those obstacles with precise and resilient solutions. Our roots in Canada’s remote regions, paired with our global logistics network, give us a unique advantage to deliver goods and services as efficiently as possible.
Here’s a closer look at the industries that rely on dependable remote logistics to fuel operations, serve communities, and drive progress.
1. Mining and Mineral Exploration
Mining operations north of 60° face some of the harshest conditions in the world. Logistics here is anything but routine. Entire modular camps often move via sealift or seasonal winter roads. Delays are costly, not just financially but operationally. BBE supports the mining sector with multimodal transport strategies, customs expertise, and real-time tracking, ensuring equipment and supplies reach their destination, even off-grid.
2. Energy: Oil, Gas, and Renewables
Energy projects in Canada’s North still require the same attention as anywhere else, but getting set up poses unique challenges. For example, flare stacks and turbines may need to be flown in on short notice or transported via ice roads or barge landings. Whether it’s conventional oil and gas or renewable power infrastructure, timing and compliance are critical. Our team delivers end-to-end visibility, hazardous materials handling, and customs-cleared transport across jurisdictions.
3. Construction and Public Infrastructure
Schools, healthcare facilities, and connectivity corridors can’t be built without a finely tuned supply chain. Projects often depend on synchronized deliveries of prefabricated panels, heavy machinery, and specialized crews. BBE’s approach combines freight, documentation, and expediting to support consistent material flow and minimize downtime at northern construction sites.
4. Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals
Remote healthcare logistics is about more than delivery, since its focus is on safeguarding the lives and well-being of residents. Cold-chain pharmaceuticals, lab equipment, and emergency medical supplies must arrive intact and on schedule. Using CEIV-certified handling and combi-aircraft options, BBE ensures that every healthcare and pharmaceutical shipment meets the highest standards for temperature control and stability, regardless of how far it travels.
5. Retail and Consumer Goods
As northern populations grow, so does the demand for food, household goods, and e-commerce fulfillment. High cube utilization and efficient backhaul strategies are key to maintaining shelf stock and managing costs. Our multimodal capabilities and real-time visibility tools help retailers keep pace with seasonal surges and shifting inventory needs.
6. Government and NGOs
From emergency response to community development, government agencies and NGOs rely on responsive, transparent supply chains to operate in Canada’s most isolated regions. BBE provides turnkey logistics support, including documentation, warehousing, and compliance, to deliver everything from potable water systems to remote housing infrastructure reliably.
7. Transportation and Aviation Support
For transportation providers, uptime is everything. BBE supports this industry with 24/7 expediting, AOG logistics, and third-party aviation services across Canada’s North. Whether sourcing critical components, handling freight transfers, or bridging supply gaps through our licensed distributor network, we help transportation companies stay on schedule no matter the mode or location.
