WE'RE NOT WORRIED ABOUT
TOWING THE USS NEW JERSEY
THROUGH THE PANAMA CANAL
AFTER ALL, WE'VE GOT THIS MUCH ROOM TO SPARE ON EITHER SIDE.
It's a tight squeeze, to say the least. That's why the State of New Jersey is counting on Crowley. We've been contracted to tow the battleship
USS New Jersey from Bremerton, Washington to her new home. It's a voyage that will take this historic vessel through the Panama Canal with a mere eight inches to spare on either side. (See diagram above).
The New Jersey has played a vital role in safeguarding the United States and the world.
Now, it's up to Crowley to ensure her safe passage. And she's not alone. Last year, we delivered the
USS Missouri to her final berth at Pearl Harbor. We were also contracted to tow the aircraft carrier
USS Oriskany over 15,000 miles, from California through the Strait of Magellan (some seriously fierce waters) to Port Arthur, Texas.
When there's no room for error, count on Crowley. We've been making maritime history for over 107 years. From supplying remote military sites in Alaska, to cleaning up oil spills after the Gulf War, to transporting these legendary ships safely to their new homes.
