Crowley Maritime said it is adding 500 new 40-foot, high-cube containers to its equipment fleet of more than 45,000 units.
The new containers will be used in liner service operations in Latin America, the Caribbean and Puerto Rico.
The addition of the new containers, along with other equipment of various sizes and types last year represents an investment of more than $23 million, the company said.
Since 2003, Crowley has invested nearly $240 million to modernize and grow its intermodal equipment fleet. Most recently, Crowley purchased 75 car racks (45 feet long and eight feet wide by 9 feet, six inches high), and in November of last year added 222 40-foot high-cube refrigerated containers and 133 new gensets in preparation for the peak perishables season in Central America.
