Canada Steamship Lines is rich in history and tradition. The history pre-dates Canada itself, with the company tracing its lineage back over 150 years. The tradition is just as significant, with CSL setting a name for itself early on as trend setters in automated unloading equipment. From the introduction of its first dry bulk self-unloader in 1926, CSL has been pushing the development of cargo-handling technology over the years. Today, CSL operates the most technologically and environmentally advanced fleet of self-unloaders on the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Waterway, offering customers in steel, power generation, agriculture and construction industries versatililty and reliability. Moreover, with the help of an ongoing extensive renewal program that started in 1996, it is today the youngest fleet plying the waters of the St. Lawrence Seaway system. Headquartered in Montreal, CSL is part of the CSL Group, which includes CSL International of Beverly, MA. Together, the two companies control the largest fleet of self-unloading vessels in the world and handle annual bulk cargo movements totaling 30 million tonnes. The Fleet Canada Steamship Lines Inc. operates a fleet of self-unloaders and gearless bulk carriers that ply the waters from Thunder Bay to Halifax. For an up-close look at our vessels, simply select the ship you would like to see from the list below. How a Self-Unloader Works CSL s self-unloaders operate with a mix of high-tech and nature s invisible force gravity. Basically, the cargo falls by gravity onto conveyor belts beneath holds; the flow is controlled by hydraulic gates. The belts bring the cargo toward the stern of the ship where it s transferred to a loop-belt system and lifted toward deck level. Once there, it is released onto the discharge boom via a hopper. The boom is slued to either port or starboard depending on the customer s receiving facility and the cargo is off-loaded.
