Notice to the Puerto Rico Trade

4/28/06

Notice to Puerto Rico Trade

As the Puerto Rico Government continues to exhange ideas for a resolution to the budgetary issues for the Government’s fiscal year 05-06, many Puerto Ricans did not go to work today in anticipation of traffic congestion and demonstrations. The Puerto Rico Police Department is doing a good job controlling the demonstrations. This, combined with many taking off work, has led to better than normal traffic flow on the waterfront.

At this time, we are not experiencing any delays or traffic congestion. Customers can access Crowley through Pier 15 today, Friday April 28th. Crowley maintains normal terminal hours of 0600-1730. Monday, May 1st, we will return to the normal access to our terminal.

If you need additional information, please feel free to contact your Sales Representative or our Customer Service Department at 800-276-9539 for additional information.

In an effort to provide you with the best service possible, we ask for your feedback. Please let us know how we’re doing by completing a short online survey at https://www.crowley.com/liner-Shipping-Services/prsurvey.asp.

Thank you.

Turmoil continues between the House of Representatives and The Governor of Puerto Rico on budgetary issues for the government’s fiscal year 05-06. Demonstrations will begin tomorrow impacting traffic flow and causing delays on the waterfront. To minimize traffic congestion and port delays, Crowley has coordinated with the Puerto Rico Port Authority for our customers to access Crowley through Pier 15 on Friday, April 28, 2006. We will have normal gate hours on Friday at Pier 15 of 0600-1730.

To accommodate customer needs, Crowley will extend our gate hours today, Thursday, April 27, until 7pm. Updates will be sent as the situation progresses and resolutions are agreed upon.
