Crowley has accepted delivery of Venture, a new chartered tug that will provide ship assist and escort operations in the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The addition of the vessel expands Crowley\u2019s capability to serve customers calling on the Southern California gateway, where harbor tugs play a critical role in the safe movement of vessels transporting cargo through the ports. <\/p>\n

Purpose-built for ship assist and escort operations, the 82-foot, Jones Act compliant Venture is powered by twin Caterpillar 3516 EPA Tier IV-compliant engines generating more than 6,000 horsepower. Equipped with azimuth stern drive thrusters, the tug delivers up to 95 tons of bollard pull and exceptional maneuverability, enabling it to safely assist some of the largest vessels operating in North America. Venture was built by Diversified Marine, Inc. on the Columbia River. <\/p>\n

\u201cVenture strengthens our ship assist and escort capabilities in Los Angeles and Long Beach, providing the capacity and performance to help advance trade through this key corridor,\u201d said John Ara, vice president of marine services at Crowley. \u201cIts advanced maneuverability and powerful engines allow us to meet the demands of some of the largest vessels calling on the West Coast, while supporting our commitment to safe, efficient harbor operations.\u201d <\/p>\n

As one of the most significant trade gateways in the world, the San Pedro Bay port complex depends on highly skilled mariners and escort tugs to help ensure the safe transit, docking and undocking of ships. A longtime leader in U.S. tugboat operations, Crowley\u2019s ship assist fleet provides these critical services around the clock, helping customers execute efficiently and reliably. <\/p>\n

Venture was built by Diversified Marine, Inc. and will join its sister Tier IV Rapport tugs Athena, Apollo, Hercules and Artemis in Crowley\u2019s West Coast fleet. <\/p>\n
