Less than a week after disclosing plans to invest new vessels to serve the Puerto Rico route, maritime shipper Crowley and the Gov. García-Padilla administration announced Tuesday the company’s plans to turn the island into its export hub for the Caribbean.
Maritime shipping company Crowley has placed an order for two faster and environmentally friendly liquefied natural gas (LNG)-powered, combination container – Roll-On/Roll-Off (ConRo) ships that will be used to serve the U.S. mainland-Puerto Rico route.
Crowley Maritime Corporation’s liner services group is adding more than 3,000 pieces of cargo handling equipment to its fleet through a $275 million investment, company officials announced Tuesday.
