About Trillium Class

Both the Canada Steamship Lines and CSL International vessels will feature designs and systems that benefit the environment and customers alike, and will forevermore be known under the CSL trademark Trillium Class.

The trillium is a flower native to North America (it's the official flower of Ontario and the official wildflower of Ohio) and Asia, including China, where the ships are being built. Its name, originating in Latin, and custom logo, speaks to the flower's three-petal and three-stalk characteristics.

Symbolically, this lends itself to the three legs of CSL's sustainability philosophy, and also represents the three advantages the vessels provide, namely in the areas of Energy, Efficiency and the Environment.
