The vessel was built at the Chengxi Shipyard in Jiangyin, China with the yard number 9301. The ship was completed in September 2012, the first vessel in CSL's Trillium class.[2] Her sister ships are Baie Comeau, Whitefish Bay and Thunder Bay.[4][6] CSL asserted that the new vessels would be more efficient than existing vessels, and would produce less pollution.[7]
