We're broadening our horizons - and market reach for customers. Crowley will launch an end-to-end, integrated ocean and rail service between Mexico and the U.S. Midwest region and into Canada. Featuring our forthcoming Mexico-U.S. ocean route in the Gulf, the service will leverage the highly efficient inland rail network of the Canadian National Railway Company (CN) and its U.S. rail subsidiaries. And it will avoid inland transportation congestion with a more environmentally efficient means of transportation.

Recently, we spent the day at the ASCE Concrete Canoe Competition in Jacksonville, cheering Canoa de Hormigon UPRM as they participated in various races to showcase their concrete canoe, Fibonacci. Crowley supported the UPRM team by providing logistics support and transportation for their one-of-a-kind canoe. After nearly seven months of hard work in designing and building their concrete canoe, they put their engineering skills and knowledge to the test. They successfully raced against 18 universities from Florida and Georgia, placing second overall in the ASCE Southeast Student Symposium. Congratulations to Team Fibonacci and the entire UPRM team!
