When it comes to ship assist and escort services,

Crowley’s got you covered. After all, we operate the most advanced fleet of tractor tugs on the West Coast.

Like our Harbor Class tugs, built with custom-designed skegs for precise steering and control. And cycloidal propulsion units for a 360-degree thrust. They can go from full-power-ahead to full-power-90-degrees in just 11 seconds. With moves like these, it’s no wonder our safety record is unparalleled.

But technology is just nuts and bolts without an expert crew. All Crowley captains and first mates are seasoned professionals – in fact, most of them have worked with us for an average of 12 years. People who know Crowley know that whether you’re in Seattle, North Puget Sound, Tacoma,

Oakland, Los Angeles/Long Beach, San Diego or Prince

William Sound, Alaska, we handle with care. For more information, call Todd Busch at Crowley Ship Assist & Escort

Services at 1-800-248-8632. Or visit www.crowley.com.
