Crowley Maritime Corp.’s solutions group has expanded its
presence in the Asia Pacific market by opening a new project management office
in Singapore, the company said June 30.
The company says the expansion should allow it to better
support customers in the oil and gas mining; engineering, construction and
procurement management (ECPM); and engineering, procurement, installation and
commissioning (EPIC) industries.
Crowley project manager William Hill has relocated from the
company’s Anchorage office to Singapore where he has assumed the position of
business development director and will manage the project support office. Hill
has been with Crowley for more than six years as projects director, projects and
business development director in Alaska, working various sealift and marine
projects for major oil, gas and EPCM customers.
“We’ve seen an increase in customers requiring service in
the region and ... we decided that a physical location with local personnel in
Singapore was necessary,” Hill explained. “It will allow us to not only have
in-person management of our assets in the area, but will also provide better,
more timely communication with our current and potential customer base.”
In addition to the newly opened solutions office in
Singapore, Crowley subsidiary Titan Salvage also maintains a presence in the
area with a 45,000 square-foot site west of the city.
