Crowley acquires Seattle-based ship assist and mooring company
Crowley Maritime Corporation has expanded its harbour services capabilities through the acquisition of Main Line, a vessel mooring company based in Seattle, Washington, effective Wednesday, January 1.
The addition of Main Line will provide Crowley’s customers calling on the ports of Seattle and Tacoma in Washington with a comprehensive solution for their vessel mooring and ship assist needs.
Main Line is a longtime provider of vessel mooring services in the Pacific Northwest. Main Line staff members are transitioning to Crowley as part of the asset purchase agreement. Terms were not disclosed.
"The addition of vessel mooring to our harbour services product offering ensures the highest levels of coordination between the critical services of vessel mooring and ship assist," said James C. Fowler, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Crowley Shipping. "As a result, Crowley customers can have even more confidence their vessels will be docked and sailed without delay or incident."
