Where it is

Milne Port is located at the head of Milne Inlet, Baffin Island, Nunavut Territory, Canada, within the Arctic Circle.

The port

This new port facility, owned by Baffinland Iron Mines Corporation, has been built to service the Mary River mine site, one of the most northern mines, and richest in iron ore, in the world, 500km within the Arctic Circle. The quality of the ore means no processing is required before shipping it to market, reducing overall impact to the environment and keeping production costs low. Baffinland is now developing Mary River in stages. The first, known as the "Early Revenue Phase", aims to export up to 3.5 million tonnes of ore per year through Milne Inlet, using ships that carry between 70,000 and 90,000 tonnes.

Traffic

A total of 56 Bulk Carriers called at the port in the warmer months between August and October 2017, each carrying an average of 72,600t of iron ore (Annual Total 4.1 million tonnes).
