Northwest Territories Freight Forwarders

The Northwest Territories are remote, with shipping routes that change dramatically from season to season. With the highest GDP and the largest population of all of Canada’s territories, it’s an incredibly important market.

As experienced freight forwarders that specialize in providing businesses like yours with access to Canada’s North, BBE has the shipping and logistics expertise to deliver shipments to the Northwest Territories on time and on budget.

Freight Forwarding

Shipping to the Northwest Territories poses several unique challenges. Road access is available to major hubs like Yellowknife, Hay River, Fort Simpson, and Fort Smith year-round, but other important communities like Norman Wells and Fort Good Hope are only accessible by barge in the summer and ice roads in the winter.

This limited access to remote locations, coupled with the seasonal nature of the available shipping routes, means careful planning is required to ensure that freight arrives on time.

At BBE, we offer multimodal transportation solutions to help businesses access even the most remote areas of the Northwest Territories, year-round. Our transportation solutions include air transportation, sealift shipping, rail transportation, as well as both traditional road freight and ice road transportation.

Logistics Company For Northwest Territories

Logistics management is essential to profitable business operations in the Northwest Territories. Outside of Yellowknife, the population of the territory is distributed around several communities with a population of less than 5000, with many communities numbering in the hundreds.

To reach these communities efficiently, cargo tracking, route risk and cost analysis, and cargo consolidation are key. These services are particularly important when shipping perishable and dangerous goods.

At BBE, we offer all of these logistics services and more; they are coupled with our remote cargo services to help you reach even the most remote communities in the Northwest Territories. Contact us to learn more about how our tailored solutions can help you reach Northern Canada in a more cost-effective way.

Expediting

Routes in the Northwest Territories are seasonal; whether you’re shipping pharmaceuticals to remote locations or heavy equipment to ensure continuity in mining operations, your shipments need to reach their destinations before spring or fall block your route.

At BBE, we offer winter road shipping, sealifts, and hotshot air transportation to ensure that your freight reaches its destination on time, even in the face of unexpected delays.

Product Distribution

Distributing products to communities throughout the Northwest Territories poses a number of logistical challenges. While hubs like Yellowknife are readily accessible, other communities are only accessible by ice roads or barges.

There are also cities that are accessible by road in the summer and winter, but not accessible in the spring or fall. Fort McPherson is a perfect example. The hamlet is served by a permanent road, but the Peel River is crossed by a ferry in the summer and ice bridges in the winter. In the spring and fall, the river is too frozen for a ferry, but not frozen enough to build an ice bridge.

Timing is of the essence—and our extensive knowledge of the routes available to Fort McPherson and other communities in the Northwest Territories means that your company will be able to deliver products to those communities without unnecessary delays.

We also offer sealift services and ice road freight forwarding to help you get your products to even the most remote communities in the Northwest Territories.
