Sikuki Nuuk Harbour A/S, the owner and operator of Greenland’s Port of Nuuk, and the proponents of two Nunavut deepwater port projects have signed a memorandum of understanding to strengthen cooperation between maritime infrastructure in Greenland and Nunavut.
The agreement brings together Sikuki Nuuk Harbour A/S; Qikiqtaaluk AEDC, proponent and developer of the Qikiqtarjuaq Deep Sea Port Project in Nunavut; and West Kitikmeot Resources Corp., proponent and developer of the Grays Bay Road and Port Project in Nunavut.
The agreement was announced in the context of a trade mission to Nuuk by Nunavut Tunngavik Inc., which represents the Inuit of Nunavut, to identify opportunities for deeper partnership between Nunavut and Greenland.
The three parties will share Arctic port expertise and explore practical cooperation in maritime resilience, emergency response, vessel support, supply chains, infrastructure and environmental protection.
The agreement connects Greenland’s major existing commercial port with two priority port developments in Nunavut, creating a framework for a stronger and more resilient Arctic maritime network.
The cooperation builds on the longstanding relationship between Greenland and Nunavut, grounded in shared Inuit culture, language, history and community ties.
Initial work will focus on practical port cooperation, coordinated emergency-response and vessel-support capabilities, and sharing knowledge on Arctic port development and operations.
