Crowley recently hosted students from Texas A&M University onboard the Crowley-managed tanker Stena Immaculate. During the vessel’s stay in Galveston, Texas, the students witnessed first-hand maintenance and repair operations. The Stena Immaculate operates under the U.S. Tanker Security Program and is available to transport liquid fuel supplies for the U.S. Department of Defense. This was a unique opportunity for the students as they develop their skills to join the maritime workforce.
At Crowley, we’re proud to contribute to the future of cleaner marine energy, with the introduction of our LNG bunker barge, Progress. This state-of-the-art vessel, designed by our engineering services team, and operated by our shipping team under long-term charter to Shell Marine recently completed its first bunkering operation with the cargo ship ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Mount Vinson in the Port of Savannah. Progress is the largest U.S. Jones Act-compliant vessel of its kind and represents a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to more sustainable maritime practices.
At Crowley, we're proud of our mariners and believe in empowering them by fostering open dialogue and collaboration across all levels of our organization. Our recent Mariner Conference brought together officers, our Senior Leadership Team and shoreside employees to share expertise, receive training and discuss the maritime industry's future. Plus, it included an expo hall with shoreside support resources like benefits, payroll and others, allowing mariners to get more insights from our corporate teams.

Stockham and 1st LT Baldomero Lopez ships back to Blount Island Command, alongside our partners at the Military Sealift Command, American Maritime Officers and Seafarers International Union of North America.
