Oil Patch Bits: Crowley doubles warehouse space in Jacksonville

Crowley Maritime Corp. said March 4 that it has moved to a new 70,000-square-foot warehouse at JAXPORT’s Dames Point location, minutes from the company’s headquarters. With this move, the company has doubled its north Florida warehouse space. This new location, at 3700 Port Jacksonville Parkway, has 20 dock doors, 30-foot clear-height ceilings and a 160-foot truck court that can be expanded to 200 feet. The U.S. Customs bonded warehouse is very close to the city’s new TracPac container terminal and will allow Crowley to provide warehousing and distribution services to those shippers involved in the Asia trade. As the Panama Canal is expanded, volumes of freight coming to Jacksonville from Asia could potentially increase volumes to the warehouse and allow the logistics group to increase its breadth of service offerings.
