Crowley integrates Jensen Maritime into new engineering services group

February 22, 2021

Brings wholistic design, build and operate solutions for maritime industry clients

To bring Crowley’s complete depth and breadth of services to maritime clients seeking design-build-operate solutions, the company has now fully integrated Jensen Maritime into the Crowley Engineering Services group.

The new group will seamlessly combine Crowley’s diverse business portfolio and long history of engineering, project management and marine operations with Seattle-based Jensen’s industry-leading marine engineering and naval architecture expertise. The result is a stronger, singular source for customers seeking high-level design expertise drawing on Crowley’s overall knowledge of management and operations of vessels, including tugboats, tanks vessels such as articulated tug-barges, and other commercial and government vessels.

“This exciting transformation reflects the evolution of Crowley’s capabilities as single source for engineering and design since Jensen joined Crowley as a subsidiary in 2008,” said Matt Yacavone, senior vice president and general manager, Crowley Shipping. “The new group fits our strategic vision for growth by better connecting naval architecture and marine engineering customers with the full suite of Crowley’s experience and knowledge from ship assist tugs to emerging and traditional offshore energy services.”

The diverse range of solutions provided by Crowley Shipping span:

the design, engineering, construction management and operation of vessels
ship assist and tanker escort services
offshore energy installations and project management
wind energy solutions
and operating and managing petroleum tank vessels and global cargo ships.

While all employees and business dealings, including new contracts, communications and email, will operate as Crowley, the Jensen name will live on through its industry-leading designs and naval architecture that will continue to be offered under Crowley Engineering. Legacy designs and new designs will be marketed as Crowley while indicating “Design Powered by Jensen.”

“We are looking forward to showing customers the benefits they can achieve by leveraging the combined Crowley and Jensen experience, expertise and portfolios,” said Ray Martus, vice president, Crowley Engineering Services. “This transformative change will best take advantage of our teams’ knowledge and potential to lead more growth for Crowley and more value for customers.”

Crowley’s engineering services team delivers a full range of marine and engineering solutions. This includes detail and conceptual vessel design and modification, shipyard management, and on-site consulting services for all types of marine projects anywhere in the world.
