Freight Management, and liquid natural gas, just to name a few. Crowley supports all six of its primary business seg- ments with centralized corporate operations, including purchasing, human resources, information technology, public relations and advertising, training, travel and fa- cilities development. Additionally, Crowley often provides vessel design, construction management and vessel man- agement services for company-owned vessels that are char- tered for use in their operating lines of business. Founded in 1892, when founder Thomas Crowley, the grandfather of current chairman and CEO Thomas B. Crowley Jr., purchased an 18-foot Whitehall boat to provide transpor- tation of personnel and supplies to ships anchored on San

Francisco Bay, the present structure, in which Crowley

Maritime Corporation serves as a holding company for business lines and all subsidiaries, was put in place in 1992.

The company remains today wholly and privately owned by the Crowley family and Crowley employees. Crowley- owned subsidiaries include TITAN Salvage, Jensen Mari- time Consultants and Customized Brokers.

The Case:

Today, Tom Crowley Jr. and his leadership team direct a company with more than $1.6 billion in annual revenues and approximately 5,300 employees. The fi rm, one of the largest employers of U.S. mariners, maintains a fl eet of 200 vessels, consisting of RO/RO (roll-on-roll-off) vessels, LO/

LO (lift-on-lift-off) vessels, articulated tug-barges (ATBs), tugs and barges. Its land-based facilities and equipment, which supports a complete supply chain solution, include terminals, warehouses, tank farms, offi ce buildings, trucks, trailers, containers, chassis, cranes and other specialized ve- hicles. For more than a century, Crowley has set the stan- dard for dependability and innovation. And, the company has grown from a one-man operation into a worldwide marine, transportation and logistics services provider by consistently delivering for its myriad customers. In terms of leadership, the fi rm has few rivals, evidenced by its bold, early move into the ATB space, eventually building out a fl eet of 17 vessels. In May of last year, Crowley entered 9487 Regency Square Boulevard
