Q&A
Green Marine program helps CSL
to harmonize environmental goals
Canada Steamship Lines (CSL Canada) is a founding member of Green
Marine. As CSL Canada’s environment manager, Caroline Denis was
among the industry stakeholders involved in developing the Green
Marine environmental program from the outset. She has since helped
every division within the CSL Group to join the program. Both she and
Lilia Khodjet El Khil, CSL Canada’s manager of sustainable development
and government relations, recently spoke with Julie Gedeon at Green
Marine Magazine.

the other divisions to do many –
if not all – of the same things.
We’re all learning from each

obtaining some of these as well.

These new megaships, however, are only part of the initiative.
“You need to have the right ship for the service,” Kindberg notes.
“So we’ve launched three classes of ships over the past five years.”
The WAFMAX (West Africa Maximum) class with a 4,700 TEU
capacity was specifically built to call upon developing African
ports where a shallower draft and onboard cranes may be
required. The 22 WAFMAX ships delivered to date are using
about 25% less fuel per container/km than their forerunners.
In South America, 16 new South America maximum (SAMMAX)
class vessels are running on 25-50% less fuel per container/km
