Churchill is currently a deepwater port, it just can't be used much of the year by ships, and is limited the rest of the year because the rail line's capacity it limited due to the subsurface (basically when it's frozen enough that heavy trains can get to Churchill, ships struggle, and when it's not frozen enough to cause ships trouble, train capacity is limited).
