Arctic Directory October 2015: Crowley honored for outstanding marine safety

The state of Washington’s Department of Ecology has honored Crowley Maritime Corp.’s petroleum services division once again with the Exceptional Compliance Program award in recognition of excellence in marine safety and environmental stewardship. The ECOPRO program represents a unique, non-regulatory environmental protection program for tank vessels, recognizing operators who demonstrate exceptional compliance with the program’s strict criteria.

Deputy Director Polly Zehn, representing the state’s Department of Ecology Spill Prevention, Preparedness and Response Program, presented the award to Crowley during a ceremony at Seattle’s Odyssey Maritime Discovery Center. Capt. Mark Homeyer, Crowley’s director, West Coast marine operations, accepted the award on behalf of the company before an audience of U.S. Coast Guard and Maritime Administration attendees. Homeyer thanked the state for the recognition and reiterated both his and the company’s commitment to environmental stewardship.

“We are proud to be among the companies representing the leading edge of operational excellence in petroleum transportation in the world today,” Homeyer said. “Our business is built on a strong commitment to environmental protection through safe and reliable petroleum transportation.”

Crowley first received this award in 2005 for its ATB division, joining an elite group of tanker and tank-barge operators which have earned ECOPRO recognition from Ecology since the program’s inception in 1999. To gain membership, companies must meet industry best practice standards and undergo rigorous Ecology inspections encompassing a wide range of operational and safety best practices. Members renew their commitment to the program every three years.
