Crowley, Jacksonville, Fla., announced it has expanded its Pacific Northwest harbor services capabilities through the acquisition of Main Line Inc., a vessel mooring company based in Seattle, effective Jan. 1. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Crowley, which already offers ship assist services in the region, said the addition of Main Line will expand its offering to customers calling on the ports of Seattle and Tacoma, Wash.
“For decades, our customers have put their trust in Crowley to ensure their vessels arrive and depart ports safety and reliably,” said James C. Fowler, senior vice president and general manager, Crowley Shipping. “The addition of vessel mooring to our harbor services product offering ensures the highest levels of coordination between the critical services of vessel mooring and ship assist. As a result, Crowley customers can have even more confidence their vessels will be docked and sailed without delay or incident.”
Main Line staff members are transitioning to Crowley as part of the asset purchase agreement, Crowley said.
