Look's like they finally have competition.
“Beginning this season, NEAS will run a new route through the Northwest Passage and deliver significant savings for the people of the Kitikmeot region,” said David Ell, NEAS’ Director of Nunavut Marketing. “We are proud and excited to offer this new over-the-top sealift service for Western Arctic communities.”
NEAS’ Inuit-owned vessels, including the MV AVATAQ, MV QAMUTIK, and the MV UMIAVUT, will navigate the Northwest Passage from the Eastern Arctic to service Western Arctic communities including Cambridge Bay, Kugluktuk, Taloyoak, and Gjoa Haven.
“This is a great time to be a NEAS customer”, confirmed Paul Ghaleb, Vice President of Sales. “With our new Northwest Passage route we will deliver significant savings for the Kitikmeot region and with our new Thru-Rate from Winnipeg, Kivalliq customers also benefit from savings.”"
