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.

Tugs and Barges

Offshore Oil and Gas

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.

Repowering the Master and Leader Tugboats

By leveraging the company’s engineering services team expertise, the Master and Leader tugboats were successfully repowered, achieving improved performance, sustainability, and regulatory compliance.
