Arctic Oil & Gas Directory: Crowley acquires 500 new 40-foot high-cube containers

Crowley Maritime Corp. said Jan. 3 that its liner services group is continuing to grow and update its equipment fleet to better serve customers with the addition of 500 new 40-foot, high-cube containers. The acquisition adds to the company’s already robust equipment fleet of more than 45,000 units, as well as phases out some older containers.

The new containers, which have a capacity of 2,700 cubic feet, will be used in all liner service operations in Latin America, the Caribbean and Puerto Rico.

“Our customers value having current, reliable equipment of varying sizes when and where they need it,” said John Douglass, senior vice president and general manager, Puerto Rico and Caribbean services. “This container acquisition is in keeping with our commitment to meeting and exceeding their needs.”

The new containers, which contain more durable North American oak wood flooring, exceed all new and amended ISO standards for freight container door security applications. A combination of security enhancements and upgrades deters and prevents unauthorized access into containers and loaded cargo.
