- Great Lakes-based shipowner says vessel’s disposal is part of fleet optimization program.
- Cedarglen was an incredibly well-maintained ship with an impressive safety record.
Canadian owner CSL has sent its 1959-built bulker Eda, formerly known as Cedarglen, to an eco-friendly recycling yard in Turkey, reports Splash247.
Fleet optimisation program
The ship will be dismantled as part of the company’s fleet optimisation program and it will be recycled in accordance with local legislation and international conventions.
Cedarglen – A well maintained ship
“Despite her age, Cedarglen was an incredibly well-maintained ship with an impressive safety record,” said Louis Martel, president and CEO of The CSL Group.
He added that the efficient operation of the ship is only because of the great teamwork and dedication on board.
Ems Ore carrier
Originally built as the deep-sea ore carrier Ems Ore in 1959, the vessel was lengthened at Davie shipyard in 1976 and renamed Cartierdoc.
CSL purchased the ship in 2002, and used it for grain trades on the Great Lakes.
