Now that we’ve got our high horsepower tugs working in the Bay

Area once again, Crowley’s come full circle. After all, we began our marine services business here in 1892 and it’s still home to us.

So it’s only natural that we’d come back to help keep the ships that call here as well as the environment safe and sound.

But the big picture is this: Survey the entire West Coast and you’ll find that Crowley owns and operates one of the most advanced fleets of tugs in the world. Equipped with the best technology available, we’ve got some tugs that can go as fast as 16 knots with a direct bollard pull of 300,000 pounds and others that can go from full power ahead to full power astern in just 15 seconds.

Plus, all Crowley captains and first mates are seasoned professionals, most having worked with us for an average of 12 years. You can’t ask for a more prepared crew.
