Warehousing 25,000 feet of 13 Ys" casing, delivering 11,000 tons of drilling supplies, transporting 450,000 barrels of crude oil and 23 tons of food every month can be a problem. But we manage. After all, managing logistics is our business.

ISM/ISO 9002

When Crowley Marine Services de Venezuela, a subsidiary of CMS, was selected by a multi-national oil company as its integrated logistics services contractor it was done with two goals in mind. Reduce their costs and assure top Health, Safety and Environmental performance. Under normal circumstances a difficult assignment. What made matters worse was that this remote region had little infrastructure and shallow waters. However, Crowley's capability for problem solving eventually won the day.

Today, Crowley's responsibilities begin at vendor premises for Venezuelan-originated cargo and at the port of entry for international cargo encompassing the full range of freight and cargoes bound for the oil company's installations. Crowley also handles everything from crew rotation to transporting the oil for export. All done while achieving ISO-9002 certification of marine operations in less than one year from start-up. While others search for answers, at Crowley, we supply solutions.
