Crowley expands mooring services at Los Angeles and Long Beach ports

Crowley has expanded its mooring services at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, strengthening its harbor services offering for ship operators on the U.S. West Coast.

The expansion integrates Crowley’s ship assist and escort tug fleet with its mooring operations, enabling vessels to berth and depart more safely and efficiently. The company said the move builds on its established harbor services in the Pacific Northwest and supports growing demand for coordinated marine operations in Southern California.

“The expansion of our mooring services into Los Angeles and Long Beach increases our capabilities to provide the highest coordination between the critical services of mooring and ship assist so vessels will arrive, berth and depart ports safely and efficiently,” said Bannon Crowley, General Manager of Ship Assist and Escort Services, Crowley.

“As the needs of our customers evolve, we continue to offer value-added solutions, working closely with our ports and partners, including the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 13, to create services that make Crowley the leader that operators can depend on across the West Coast.”

Crowley noted that the combined services will offer operators a more streamlined harbor experience, with enhanced coordination across tug operations, mooring crews and port partners.
