CSL Metis
From WikiAlpha
The CSL Metis is an ocean-going freighter operated by Canada Steamship Lines.[1] CSL constructed the vessel by converting a relatively new tanker. New rules required all tankers to have double hulls, making it possible for CSL to acquire the Ektora, a 33,000 tonne tanker, built in 1981, to a single hull design. CSL had a "new forebody" built, with the boom and other machinery required to turn the vessel into a self-unloading bulk carrier. The forebody was added between the sterncastle and engine room, and the vessels holds, lengthening the vessel and increasing its tonnage.
