Description:

Destination: Valleyfield, Canada
Previous port of call: Milne Inlet, Canada

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milne_Inlet
Milne Inlet, is a shallow inlet, 80 km in length and 30 km at its mouth, located across from Bylot Island on the other side of Eclipse Sound. It is shallow, has high tides, and strong winds. It freezes over in October and is open again in August.

Baffinland Iron Mines Corporation, which owns the Mary River iron ore mine—100 km (62 mi) from Milne Inlet, began to develop a harbour infrastructure in Milne Inlet in the 2000s. Before the inlet froze in 2018 alone, the mining company had made 71 trips from Milne Inlet to its European markets and elsewhere carrying an "average 71,750 tonnes of iron ore each".

The open waters of Baffin Bay—which leads to the northern Atlantic Ocean—can only be reached from Baffinland's Milne Inlet mining port through a 160 km (99 mi)-long channel between Bylot Island and Baffin Island. All the waters surrounding Bylot Island and the island itself, are part of the Tallurutiup Imanga National Marine Conservation Area

Baffinland’s Mary River Mine site on Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada, is one of the most northern mines in the world. It has among the richest iron ore deposits ever discovered, consisting of nine-plus high-grade iron ore deposits that can be mined, crushed, and screened into marketable products.

Baffinland’s ore handling team transports the crushed materials by truck from our crushing area to our port site along a 100km tote road.

Once at the port, we dump and stack the material into a stockpile. We load it onto bulk carrier ships during the ice-free summer season, typically around July-October. Most of our ships travel across the Atlantic Ocean and travel through European ports to be used by steel makers in continental Europe.
