OFFSHORE ENERGY SERVICES AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Crowleyโs Been Offshore from the Beginning
Crowley has been a key player in the development of the offshore services industry for decades. Serving as a prime contractor or subcontractor we combine our expertise in engineering and marine operations with our fleet of premier offshore assets to develop and execute safe, reliable solutions for the worldโs most challenging offshore projects.
We Bring the Right Vessels โฆ
Crowley has one of the largest U.S.-flag fleets of tugboats, barges and other specialized marine assets found anywhere. These Jones Act โ compliant vessels range from high-endurance tugs with dynamic positioning capabilities to high-deck-strength heavy-lift deck barges up to 400 feet long by 130 feet wide.
And our heavy-lift foreign-flag deck barges are ideal for jobs around the world. If we donโt have the right assets in the right place at the right time, we leverage our network of contacts around the world to source the ideal vessel solution to meet your offshore services needs.
