Premier Wab Kinew says it will cost $70 to $80 billion to build a Port of Churchill expansion that includes an offshore liquefied natural gas terminal in Hudson Bay. A series of studies suggests freighters hardened against ice can safely navigate Hudson Bay outside of the existing four-month Port of Churchill shipping seasonbut warn fully laden natural gas tankers hardened to withstand the force of sea ice can not manoeuvre within the shallow and narrow entrance to the existing port. "Significant dredging, infrastructure modifications or development of an offshore loading facility would be required before such vessels could be employed at Churchill," concluded a feasibility study commissioned by Arctic Gateway Group, which owns the port and Hudson Bay Railway. An offshore terminal in Hudson Bay would be open to the prevailing northeastern winds on Hudson Bay. Kinew said he is heartened by new studies suggesting shipping liquefied natural gas through icy waters is possible and dismissed the idea Inuit, First Nations and other Arctic residents would be as opposed to gas shipments as they would to oil travelling through Hudson Bay.
