Arctic Directory October 2015: Crowley Accord acquires Maritime Management Services

Crowley Maritime Corp. announced the acquisition of Maritime Management Services Inc., a Seattle-based company with more than a decade’s worth of experience in crew management for offshore oil and gas vessels primarily in the U.S. Gulf, Singapore and Gulf of Mexico. The addition of MMS to Crowley’s international ship management division - which provides all phases of commercial ship management along with full technical management and government contracting - further strengthens the company’s global reach in the ship management industry and now allows the company to service a wide variety of international and domestic customers with a pool of trained and experienced crewmembers ready for hire.

MMS offers crewmembers services such as visas, flag-state and immigration documentation; crewmember certifications, including standards of training, certification and watchkeeping and any client or operational area requirements; logistics, administrative and travel support; and much more. In addition to MMS’ Seattle headquarters, the organization also has a secondary location in Singapore.

MMS was founded in 2005 and was acquired by Crowley following the unexpected death of former owner Trevor Stabbert in 2013. The group, comprised of eight employees, celebrated its 10th anniversary of service last month.
