Arctic Directory October 2015: Crowley honored with Earth Day Award for initiatives

Crowley Maritime Corp. has been honored with the 2015 Federal Maritime Commission Chairman’s Earth Day Award in recognition of the organization’s companywide environmental stewardship initiatives.

The FMC Chairman’s Earth Day Award is given annually and highlights technologies, programs or practices of the maritime transportation industry that, through efficiency or innovation, benefit the environment. The award also looks to emphasize efforts that provide a reduction in environmental harm, emissions or pollutants, and increase the public’s awareness of the maritime transportation industry’s hard work to protect the environment.

“Crowley companies place the highest priority on individual safety, security, prevention of pollution and customer satisfaction,” said the company’s Charlie Nalen, vice president, SSQE. “We understand how our jobs may impact the environment and also what we can do to minimize those impacts. Taking the initiative to reduce negative impact not only helps the environment, but also is in the best interest of our customers, the communities in which we work and our employees.”

The Federal Maritime Commission is the federal agency responsible for regulating the nation’s international ocean transportation for the benefit of exporters, importers, and the American consumer. The FMC’s mission is to foster a fair, efficient, and reliable international ocean transportation system while protecting the public from unfair and deceptive practices.
