Arctic Directory April 2015: Crowley Accord Marine Management adds five tankers

Crowley Accord Management Pvt. Ltd., the international ship management venture managed globally by Crowley Maritime Corp.’s ship management group, has been awarded full technical management contracts for five new tankers. These tankers will be joined in the coming weeks by three more, bringing Crowley’s international ship management fleet to more than 70.

The five products tankers brought under Crowley Accord management are the MT Dawn Haridwar, MT Dawn Mansarovar, MT Dawn Mathura, MT Dawn Madurai and MT Portland Pearl. The first four are owned by Arya Tankers and will operate along the Indian coast, while the fifth is owned by Union Maritime Limited and will operate in the Europe-to-Nigeria trade. Combined, these tankers represent more than 130,000 gross tons in the market.

“The Crowley Accord partnership continues to be a successful one and this latest onboarding of additional vessels is testament to that,” said Mike Golonka, vice president, ship management. “Vessel owners are seeking us out because we provide honesty and transparency in our operations and adaptable, safe and professional solutions for all of our customers.”

The Crowley Accord acquisition which took place in April 2014 immediately increased the size and scope of Crowley’s technical ship management group and supported the company’s expansion into the international ship management market with a foreign crewing presence.

The acquisition also made Crowley a rare U.S. company - one that provides third-party international crewing and technical ship management.
