Freight service to Co-op stores in the North is a major factor in our business. To this end, Nunavut Sealink and Supply Incorporated (NSSI) was established in the year 2000. NSSI is a new company formed by Arctic Co-operatives Limited and Desgagnes Transarctik Inc. to provide door-to-door transportation and supply services in Nunavut. Each of our 31 Co-ops is owned by its members - who collectively own 75% of Nunavut Sealink and Supply Inc. Profits from this business are returned to members through Arctic Co-ops' patronage dividends. The main services are product supply and sea freight that include warehousing, product sales, maritime packaging, containerization, sale and repair of containers, transportation of all commodities, and cargo insurance. NSSI partnered with Northern Transportation Company Ltd. (NTCL) and NorTran to form the N3 Alliance and successfully bid on the Government of Nunavut sealift. On June 4, 2001 the N3 Alliance signed a $6 million contract to conduct the government's Eastern Arctic sealift for the next two years. Local ownership and control is the best way to serve the people of Nunavut, as it ensures that the community's needs are the major driver in decision-making. The N3 Alliance was developed - based on these principles - to benefit all Nunavummiut. This joint venture helps maintain competitive shipping rates while also expanding and further improving local Co-op services. It will also give the Co-ops greater control and influence over their freight needs.
