Around the same time, the company also announced that it was
adding upwards of 3,000 pieces of cargo handling equipment to
its robust and diverse fleet. The additional resources allow the
company to better meet increasing customer demand throughout
Puerto Rico, and other destinations in the Caribbean and
Central America.
"We are particularly pleased to be able to add to our supply of
high-capacity 53-foot containers, which are in great demand in
our Puerto Rico liner services," says Hourihan. "These units have
a capacity up to 3,268 cubic feet and the capability to carry loads
up to 42,660 pounds."
More good news for Crowley and Puerto Rico broke less than a
month after the company unveiled its Commitment Class plans
in 2013: a part of the company's nearly 120,000-square foot
warehouse and distribution center was reclassified as a Foreign
Trade Zone (FTZ).
Customer Recognition
"TlS and Toyota de Puerto Rico are pleased to help celebrate Crowley's
60 years of service to Puerto Rico. This diamond anniversary also marks
three decades of collaboration, which has earned Crowley recognition
through numerous Toyota logistics excellence Awards. We are proud
to work alongside a company that demonstrates excellent operational
performance and customer attention, and we look forward to continuing
the partnership for many years to come." - Corinne Akahoshi, national marine
and export manager for Toyota Logistics Services (TLS), Inc.
