On the potash front. Saskatchewan producing 25 million tonnes in 2024 vs PADCOM trying to ramp up to 10,000 tonnes this summer. 1 unit train leaving a potash mine typically ships 10,000 or more tonnes.

I was thinking on a barge to one of the east coast ports (Montreal or Halifax?), and then trans loaded on to a regular container ship. I think a fair amount of stuff comes to Churchill by barge so this would be backhaul for the barge shipping company.
In 2017 VIA rail shipped out their stranded passenger train by barge from Churchill to Montreal. The engines alone were around the 90 ton mark each and the shipboard cranes apparently had no issues lifting and placing both of them and the passenger cars. 2 container of potash should be less weight than the VIA load.
