Construction and career
Baie Comeau was constructed at the Chengxi shipyard in
In an inaugural salute to the completion of its first voyage carrying cargo, Claude Dumais, CSL's vice president of technical operations, presented Christine Brisson, mayor of Baie-Comeau, with an 2.4-metre (7.9 ft) model of the vessel, which will be displayed in the city's municipal offices.[8] In April 2018, a strike by CSL's shipping deck officers led to all of CSL's self-unloading ships being laid up until the strike could be mediated, with Baie Comeau remaining at Thunder Bay, Ontario.[9]
The Quebec & Ontario Transportation Company launched an earlier vessel named Baie Comeau in 1954.[10]
