CSL, through its Canada Steamship Lines division, can trace its history to 1845 as a river boat company on the mighty St. Lawrence River in Quebec, Canada where it began to deliver materials to customers who were busy building a nation. Through the decades, CSL pegged its growth on technology it would pioneer — namely self-unloading vessels, the first of which it introduced in 1924 — to help serve its customers’ growing need for bulk materials.
Today, CSL, through Canada Steamship Lines in Montreal, CSL International in
Beverly, MA, CSL Asia in Singapore and CSL Australia in Sydney, manages the largest fleet of dry bulk self-unloading vessels in the world. The size and flexibility of the fleet guarantees customers receive timely, efficient and affordable service.
