Technical Expertise for Emerging Markets
Crowley is accustomed to going to places no other companies have been and designing and executing projects that haven’t been done before. We delivered the North Slope infrastructure beginning in the 1970s. We’ve transported modules and other equipment to six continents and dozens of countries.
We’ve helped manage some of the largest salvage operations in history, including the Costa Concordia, with our experienced naval architects, marine engineers and salvage support teams.
When you are contemplating that new, challenging project, engage us at the beginning of its lifecycle to ensure its success.
Whether you are looking to make a complicated delivery over the shore on a remote beach, or beginning an energy exploration project requiring bulk or coastal transportation and heavy-duty tow-outs, or developing an offshore wind energy project, we’re always ready for what you want to accomplish.
