Petrolieum Transportation

Crowley has served the people and businesses of Alaska's Arctic and Coastal area since 1896. We serve the State of Alaska from the North Arctic Slope to South Central Alaska, coastal communities, and inland communities including those along the Kuskoswim and Yukon rivers. The primary sea-going service Crowley provides in Alaska involves the transportation and distribution of petroleum to these communities.

Included in this operation are tugs and barges that navigate Alaskan coasts and rivers carrying petroleum during the summer months, typically between May and October each year.
