Crowley Maritime Corp. took delivery Friday of the Louisiana, the third of four new, Jones Act product tankers being built for the company by Philly Shipyard, Inc.
Louisiana, which is 50,000 dead weight tons and capable of carrying 330,000-barrels of product, will be christened by the company in New Orleans May 5.
Crowley’s fourth product tanker is expected to be delivered during the third quarter of 2016. Louisiana joins sister ships Ohio and Texas, which were received by Crowley in 2015 as the first-ever tankers to have the American Bureau of Shipping’s approval for conversion to liquefied natural gas (LNG) propulsion in the future.
