Crowley: Investments in New Ships, LNG, Refrigerated Units Buoy Trade in Puerto Rico, the Caribbean
Crowley’s Chairman and CEO Tom Crowley recently spoke about the company’s liner and logistics strategy and the $550 million investment Crowley is making in its Puerto Rico and Caribbean business at JAXPORT’s Logistics and Intermodal Conference, held in Jacksonville this past spring. In this video, listen to Crowley’s key remarks on these topics, as well as the company’s burgeoning liquefied natural gas (LNG) business that is now supplying industrial customers throughout the Caribbean Basin with an efficient, reliable and affordable fuel source.
As the company embraces its 125th anniversary year, it is proud to invest more than half-a-billion dollars in two Commitment Class ConRo ships and related projects, such as a new pier and terminal in San Juan, Puerto Rico, all in the name of increasing speed and efficiency for shippers. In recent years, the company’s investments also have expanded refrigerated, or “reefer,” cargo services and equipment as part of its total supply chain solutions in the Caribbean.
“This anniversary year also rings in a huge investment in Puerto Rico, and we’re very excited about the future there. We also serve the entire Caribbean basin with a range of logistics and supply chain services,” Crowley told the audience.
