Crowley Maritime Corporation provides diversified transportation services in domestic and international markets by means of four operating lines of business: Liner Services, Logistics, Marine Services and Petroleum Services.
The primary services offered by these four business lines include:
The company supports all four of its business segments by providing corporate services (such as Purchasing, Human Resources, Information Technology, Public Relations and Advertising) and by providing Vessel Construction/Architecture Technical Services, which involves supervising the construction of new vessels and maintaining ownership of vessels that are chartered for use in Crowley's operating lines of business.
The company employs approximately 4,300 people and provides its services using a fleet of more than 280 vessels, consisting of RO/RO (roll on/roll off) vessels, LO/LO (lift on/lift off) vessels, tankers, tugs and barges. Crowley's land-based facilities and equipment include terminals, warehouses, tank farms, office buildings, trucks, trailers, containers, chassis, cranes and other specialized vehicles.
The company's history began in 1892 when founder Thomas Crowley, the grandfather of current Chairman, President and CEO Thomas B. Crowley Jr., purchased an 18-foot Whitehall boat to provide transportation of personnel and supplies to ships anchored in San Francisco Bay. The present structure, in which Crowley Maritime Corporation is a holding company for the business lines, was put in place in 1992.
The Company is predominantly owned by certain members of the Crowley family and company employees, and its shares do not trade on any national securities exchange or in any market. Regular filings are made with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) http://www.sec.gov/ in conformance with public reporting requirements.
