Crowley to acquire hundreds of new containers

Crowley Liner Services Inc. has started to take delivery of 1,049 new 45-foot containers and chassis and will soon get 200 new 53-foot containers.

The containers will be delivered over the next two months to Crowley's facilities in Jacksonville and Port Everglades. They will be used to meet increased customer demand for the company's Latin American, Caribbean and Puerto Rican shipping services.

The 53-foot equipment will be used only in the United States-to-Puerto Rico trade lane.

"We are continuing to put money back into the business in the form of new equipment and services," said Tom Crowley Jr., chairman, president and CEO of Crowley Maritime Corp. "These types of improvements go a long way toward solidifying customer satisfaction and helping us to be the preferred carrier for so many shippers."

Crowley has a fleet of 2,170 45-foot containers and 1,000 53-foot containers.

Jacksonville-based Crowley Liner Services is a subsidiary of Oakland, Calif.-based Crowley Maritime Corp. and is part of its liner segment.
