Crowley Maritime Corp. has
announced that recently acquired freight forwarding, export packing and logistics
company Jarvis International Freight will transition into the company as a new branch
of Crowley Logistics.
Jarvis is to remain based
in Houston, Texas but “will now operate under the Crowley name and its team will
continue its nearly 30-year legacy of providing specialized international freight
forwarding and logistics services,” according to an Oct. 3 statement announcing
the move.
In addition, Crowley says,
the subsidiary will continue its other capabilities, including engineering, procurement,
construction support, and project management, to those in the energy, oilfield and
mining industries.
“This team’s already strong
client relationships and specialized knowledge of project logistics, combined with
our experience, facilities and capabilities will prove to be an even greater resource
to customers in the industries we serve,” explained Steve Collar, Crowley’s senior
vice president and general manager, logistics.
“This decision gives Crowley
a greater opportunity to extend our logistics services to new industries and geographic
areas,” Collar said. “Adding this team to our logistics portfolio strengthens our
position in the petroleum and energy industries – and will increase the opportunities
for us to take on more logistically complex projects for these customers.”
The new web address for
the subsidiary is crowley.com/forwarding.
