Crowley Container Tracking

Crowley Maritime Corporation, founded in 1892 and headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, is a privately-held U.S. company providing integrated logistics, marine and energy solutions across commercial and government sectors. With more than 6,300 employees and annual revenues exceeding $2.5 billion, the firm offers a broad portfolio of services spanning container liner shipping, roll-on/roll-off (Ro/Ro) operations, tanker and bulk transport, offshore and Arctic logistics, plus warehousing and land-based distribution. Although rooted in maritime transport, it now operates five primary business units: Logistics, Shipping, Fuels, Land Transportation Services and Wind Services—reflecting its wide service scope.

One of Crowley’s strengths lies in its longstanding heritage combined with modern diversification. It began when founder Thomas Crowley purchased an 18-foot rowboat in San Francisco Bay to move personnel and supplies to ships anchored offshore. Over time the company evolved into a global operator undertaking complex logistics and maritime operations—including Arctic resupply, offshore energy support and large-scale Ro/Ro services between the U.S. mainland and island territories.

Crowley was a key player supporting humanitarian efforts: during the Haiti earthquake relief, it helped re-establish port operations and moved thousands of emergency housing units. The company remains family-owned and U.S-flagged, which is relatively rare in today’s global shipping industry and underscores a long-term, independent business culture.
