SECURITY
Nowadays,
security is on everyones mind. But its nothing new to Crowley. Since the
1980s weve had security systems in place to protect our facilities, terminals
and vessels against the smuggling of drugs, contraband and stowaways as well as
cargo theft. We make sure every Crowley employee is trained and prepared to make
security the highest priority. You wont find a more trusted partner.
And more recently, under our Director of Security, Ed Alford,
we've implemented programs to thwart terrorism, too. So you can be
confident that with Crowley, your goods will reach their destination
safe and secure - and on time.

C-TPAT Certificate
Custom-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism program (C-TPAT)
Developed immediately following the September 11th attacks, the C-TPAT
program aims to push out and protect U.S. borders to the point of
origin for incoming cargo. What does all this mean to our customers? As
one of the few sea carriers fully validated by U.S. Customs in the C-TPAT security program, a designation currently held by a minority of registered and certified program participants, our cargo is
automatically available for priority entry and clearance. If Customs
does require inspection, it will be scheduled before the cargo of
non-program participants. Not only will your goods receive the highest
degree of security during shipment, they'll also receive quick transfer
and delivery from our terminal ports. To

The Super Carrier Initiative Agreement
Introduced to the industry back in the 1980s, the Carrier
Initiative Program (CIP) was the first industry-government partnership
program designed to protect the U.S. from the smuggling of narcotics,
stowaways and other contraband. Crowley is an original member and lead
participant in the Super Carrier Initiative Agreement (SCIA) with U.S.
Customs. This program requires compliance in security standards that
represent the "Highest Degree of Due Diligence" specified by
Customs. Click here to learn more.
