Crowley acquires Caribbean region NVOCC

Crowley, the US based shipping line and maritime services company, is to install a carbon capture unit on its 977 TEU, 11,200 dwt container ship, STORM. According to the company, a pilot project will then be instigated to “operate, measure and optimise the technology’s effectiveness in actual maritime environments at port and ultimately at sea”.

Crowley, a US-based company engaged in the energy, ro-ro and container shipping markets, and BWX Technologies (BWXT), a leading supplier of nuclear components to the US Government, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU), to explore opportunities in using ships and micro-nuclear reactors to deliver electricity to shoreside locations.

Fairwater Holdings is the name for a joint venture of Seacor Holdings (Crowley) and Seabulk Tankers integrating their respective liquid energy and chemicals vessels, together with operations and related services

The US shipping and logistics company has awarded Singapore-based Eastern Pacific Shipping a contract for the charter of four 1,400 TEU newbuild containerships powered by LNG for its US-Central America trade

Tank container manufacturers show little sign of scaling back production, despite fragile demand recovery.

Crowley is currently in the midst of a transition from a ro-ro barge operator to a full service shipping and logistics company using lo-lo vessels, including two new LNG-powered “Commitment class” con-ro ships for the US/Puerto Rico trade.
