The Port of San Francisco welcomed the Rt. Hon. Paul E. Martin, a 71,900-deadweight-ton self-unloading bulk carrier operated by CSL International, on her maiden call to the Port’s Pier 94 on October 26. Pier 94 is operated by Hanson Aggregates, which imports over 700,000 tons of aggregate and sand into the Port of San Francisco annually.

“We are pleased to welcome the newest CSL International vessel to our port,” said Peter Dailey, Port Maritime Director. “The dry bulk sector is one of the key components of our maritime business portfolio at the Port of San Francisco.”

The vessel loaded cargo in British Columbia, Canada before arriving at Pier 94 to discharge 64,000 tons of aggregate and sand. This product is used by the local construction industry for the production of concrete. As part of CSL’s ambitious fleet renewal program, the Rt. Hon. Paul E. Martin is the first of three Trillium Class self-unloading Panamax vessels to join the CSL International pool during the coming year.

“It is a pleasure calling on one of the most beautiful cities in the world,” commented Captain Vladyslav Tarasov. “We look forward to many future return voyages to the Port of San Francisco and to renewing our friendship.”
