OFFSHORE ENERGY SERVICES AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Crowley’s 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 world’s most challenging offshore projects.
We Bring the Right Vessels …
Crowley has one of the largest U.S.-flag fleets of tugboats, barges and other specialized marine assets found anywhere. These Jones Act – 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 don’t 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.
… and Know how to do Every Job
Our engineers provide comprehensive solutions for vessel load and cargo fastening plans.
Utilizing 3D modeling and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software, they ensure the design and safety will exceed expectations while helping to limit project costs and risk of your offshore services project.

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.
What’s Your Challenge?
Our resume of performance over the past 130 years is extensive. No matter the project you are contemplating, it is very likely that we’ve done it safely and successfully before. In those rare instances where we haven’t, we have a team of engineers, naval architects, towmasters, vessel crews, and project managers to develop a custom solution for you.
