Samuel Guzowski, Foreign Trade, Commerce and Industry Minister of Costa Rica, presented the award to Jorge Campabadal, Crowley’s General Manager, Costa Rica and Nicaragua Services, at an award ceremony held recently in San Jose, Costa Rica. Miguel Angel Rodriguez, President of the Republic of Costa Rica; and Antonio Burgues, President of the Chamber of Exporters, were also on hand for the award presentation.

Costa Rica Exporters nominated Crowley for the award based on a number of criteria including the company’s record for continuous service in Costa Rica; weekly fixed-day sailings; investments in the Limon container yard; new high tech refrigerated containers; specialized equipment like 45-foot (102” W) trailers; and cargo tracking and bill of lading services via the internet.
