the liquefi ed natural gas (LNG) mar- ket by acquiring Carib Energy LLC.

Also that month, Crowley’s liner ser- vices group added more than 3,000 pieces of equipment. The additional resources allowed the company to better meet increasing customer de- mand throughout Puerto Rico, the

Caribbean and Latin America regions.

Not done yet, Crowley announced in

August 2013 that it would expand its fl eet of petroleum vessels by building eight product tankers. Delivery of those vessels is slated between 2015 and the end of 2017. And, Crowley subsidiary TITAN Salvage, has been closely involved in the salvage of the

Costa Concordia cruise ship. In short, there isn’t much on the waterfront that Crowley hasn’t looked into or is actively involved.

Take, for example, Crowley sub- sidiary Jensen Maritime, whose client base is wide and includes all sizes and types of tonnage. Ongoing in-house projects include an LNG bunker barge, the LNG-powered tug, LNG powered ATB designs and of course, the design work with the larger, faster and environmentally-friendly lique- fi ed natural gas (LNG)-powered, combination container – Roll-On/

Roll-Off (ConRo) ships. Already in the thick of LNG, Jensen will provide construction management and super- vision in the shipyard throughout the building phase of the ConRo’s.

Today’s Crowley Maritime Corpo- ration would be hardly recognizable to its founder, but in the many years that have passed since its inception, the fi rm can still be summed up today remembering that it remains all about “people and safety – the Crowley way.” The rest is just details. 18-31 MN Aug14.indd 21 7/18/2014 12:28:18 PM
