Sakku is losing out, so closed to the Port of Church and yet so far. Get into the action because you will have to pay huge cargo cost of your pre-fab houses to a shipping company and making your clients pay top dollar. Make your life easier. for 50 mil investment (you can find for a cargo company, if you work hard as your paychecks amounts)….the path was narrow sighted and narrow minded without logistics. Sakku; for profitability; all you need is Kivalliq and Eastern shores of Hudson Bay for cliental.
Dear Hermann.
You might be happy to know that Sakku has been an owner of Nunavut Sealink and Supply for about a decade…
