Brains. Brawn. Crowley’s ship assist and escort services has both to make sure your vessel is safe. Not only do we have the largest, most powerful fleet of tractor tugs on the West Coast, but they’re all cleverly designed with fully instrumented, pilot house-controlled engine rooms. Take our newest, most advanced tug, the Response. Used for high-speed tanker escorts in North Puget Sound, it’s all muscle. Its 7,200 horsepower engine generates a direct bollard pull of 150,000 lbs. And its unique high-lift and streamlined hull creates substantial indirect forces at high speeds more than enough to satisfy the toughest safety requirements.

All of our technologically advanced vessels are run by expert crews that average 12 years of service. People who know

Crowley know that we do things right the first time. Look for our burly, brainy tugs in the harbors of Valdez, Alaska, Seattle,

North Puget Sound, Tacoma, Oakland, Los Angeles/Long

Beach, and San Diego. For more information, call Todd Busch at Crowley Ship Assist & Escort Services at 1-800-248-8632.
