MV Yampu departs on maiden voyage

This new purpose-built 11,000 deadweight tonne limestone carrier represents a major
step forward in sustainable marine logistics. Designed to transport approximately
2.7 million tonnes of limestone annually for Adbri – an increase of 35% over its
predecessor – MV_ Yampu_ will significantly enhance supply chain efficiency while
reducing environmental impact.

Equipped with advanced hybrid propulsion technology, the vessel is expected to reduce
diesel consumption by 25% and cut Scope 1 emissions by 40% compared to the ship 
it replaces. By 2031, _MV Yampu_ will operate fully on electric power, enabling 
emissions reductions of more than 90% and setting a new benchmark for low-carbon
bulk shipping.

Owned and operated by CSL and crewed by Australian seafarers, _MV Yampu_ has been
optimised to support a fully integrated limestone supply chain for Adbri. Upon arrival
in South Australia, the vessel will play a key role in delivering essential raw 
materials more reliably, efficiently, and sustainably.

_MV Yampu_ is the result of a close collaboration between the CSL and Adbri teams,
reflecting both companies’ shared commitment to innovation, operational excellence,
and the decarbonisation of the maritime industry.

**_The CSL Group_**_ is a world class provider of complex marine solutions and the
largest owner and operator of self-unloading ships in the world. Headquartered in
Montreal with operations throughout the Americas, Australia, Europe and Africa, 
CSL provides a broad range of shipping and handling services and delivers millions
