Oil Patch Bits: New location strategically positions Jensen Maritime

Jensen Maritime Consultants, a Crowley Maritime Corp. company, said Aug. 14 that it has expanded its presence to the U.S. Gulf with the establishment of a third office in New Orleans, La. This strategic new location places Jensen in close proximity to many important customers and shipyards in the U.S. Gulf, as well as to Crowley’s Houston-based solutions group, a Project Management Organization. Solutions provides marine project management services as a prime contractor for the energy and resource extraction industries.

The company’s full services — including new design, naval architecture, marine and mechanical engineering, ship structures, electrical engineering, production engineering and construction management — will each be available from this new location. These unique company capabilities are built upon a foundation of vessel design and engineering, construction and operations experience, due in part to Jensen’s close working relationships with Crowley’s marine operators. Jensen’s staff includes naval architects, marine engineers, electrical engineers, maritime academy graduates and direct hires from shipyards around the U.S.

Customers who will benefit from Jensen’s presence in the U.S. Gulf include regional shipyards and local operators, as well as clients in the offshore oil and gas, energy, fishing, workboat and brown-water industries.
