CSL unveils Trillium bulkers
Canada Steamship Lines (CSL) successfully launched its new Trillium class bulk carriers at Yangfan Shipyard in Zhoushan, China.
The 36,100 tonne seaway size gearless bulkers are part of CSL’s fleet renewal programme which saw the delivery of four new Trillium class self-unloading Lakers and three Panamax self-unloaders in 2012-2013.
These latest vessels are scheduled to enter the CSL fleet later this year and will operate in the Great Lakes-St Lawrence Seaway system.
Featuring IMO Tier II compliant main engines and the latest environmental and safety technologies, CSL says the state-of-the-art new bulkers will be consistent with the high standards set by the Trillium class of operational, reliability and environmental sustainability.
