Baie St. Paul (ship, 2012)

The Baie St. Paul is a bulk carrier operated on the North American Great Lakes by the Canada Steamship Lines (CSL).[1] The vessel was built in China in 2012. She is the first vessel in CSL's Trillium class. Her sister ships are the Baie Comeau, Whitefish Bay and Thunder Bay.[2][3]

CSL asserts that the new vessels will be more efficient than existing vessels, and will leave less pollution.[4]

CSL operated an earlier vessel called the Baie St. Paul, launched in 1962.[1][5] She was scrapped in 1995.
