Gain Power from Our Elite Fleet of Vessels
Crowley provides skilled personnel, top-notch vessels, and project know-how to deliver safe and reliable operations and project outcomes for customers. We have a specialized fleet of Jones Act-qualified vessels to comply with United States requirements.
Specifically, our 9 high-deck-strength barges at 400 feet long and up to 130 feet wide can be loaded with equipment such as wind turbines, foundations, and related supplies from the supply chain for transport to nearshore and offshore project sites. They are pulled by our fleet of four high-bollard-pull ocean-going tugs which bring superior towing power to every offshore wind turbine project, complemented by five additional ocean-going tugs for towing and offshore support.
Our services don’t stop at the shoreline. Leverage our land and sea assets to provide specialized transport of construction and maintenance components. Utilizing tugs and barges along with partner equipment, we can provide transportation of foundations and turbine components from laydown areas to offshore WTIVs for installation.
- Tug/barge transportation of monopiles and secondary steel from U.S. ports to the offshore installation site.
- Tight line tug and barge or converted/newbuild ATB (deck-barge) vessels to deliver turbine components to the offshore installation vessel/site.
- Utilization of Jones Act tugs and barges.
When your projects have some of the biggest and most complicated engineering and marine transportation requirements imaginable, we will do the heavy lifting for you. Whether it’s transporting spread or piled foundations to their final location offshore, or a simple towing resistance analysis, our heavy lift experts provide customized solutions.
