NEAS extends a warm summer sealift welcome to new housing construction projects this season. The NEAS team has the available capacity to service all housing construction projects across Canada’s Eastern and Western Arctic.

With modern Inuit-owned Canadian flag vessels, advanced Canadian-built lightering equipment, and dedicated teams of trained and certified professionals, you can count on NEAS world-leading arctic sealift, heavy-lift marine resupply and cargo positioning services.

From heavy construction materials, like concrete, steel or lumber, to specialized building modules and the heavy equipment needed for all new housing construction, you can count on NEAS for reliable arrive-on-time sailings and local cargo discharge.

“NEAS teamwork makes the dream work for housing,” says The NEAS Group president and chief executive Suzanne Paquin. “Amazing people with generations of local knowledge make up the NEAS teams that operate our next-generation fleet of modern vessels and innovative cargo handling.”

It is not only NEAS heavy lift capacity. NEAS crews have the light touch to load and discharge “handle with care” cargoes, like nutritious non-perishable foods and other vital inventory required to restock store shelves, warehouses, and family and local community sealift pantries.
