Arctic Directory: Crowley contributes to major safety milestone

Crowley Maritime Corp. said May 23 that it provided 20 percent of the hours contributed to the trans-Alaska pipeline system’s 10 million hours worked without an OSHA Day Away From Work Case.

This achievement is in part a result of Crowley’s company-wide commitment to a strong safety culture.

For more than 30 years Crowley has provided tanker escort, response ship assist and vessel operations for the trans-Alaska pipeline operator, Alyeska Pipeline Service Co., in Valdez, Alaska. The safety milestone is especially exceptional considering a majority of these employees work in the field and in environments with cold weather and heavy seas conditions.

“I am very proud of our Crowley Valdez team,” said Charlie Nalen, Crowley vice president, Valdez. “Together Crowley and the rest of the TAPS workforce have just completed an amazing accomplishment. This is no accident; it is the collective excellent performance of everyone involved in this operation that has allowed this to happen, and it is something we can and must continue to do.”
