JACKSONVILLE, FL - Crowley Accord Management Pvt. Ltd. has added another 5 tankers to its fleet of international management, now bringing the company’s total line to more than 70 ships, and they are not done. According to a press release, the company plans to award full technical management to three more in the coming weeks.

“The Crowley Accord partnership continues to be a successful one and this latest onboarding of additional vessels is testament to that,” Mike Golonka, Vice President of Crowley’s Ship Management, said in the release. “Vessel owners are seeking us out because we provide honesty and transparency in our operations and adaptable, safe, and professional solutions for all of our customers.”

Four of the new additions,  the MT Dawn Haridwar, MT Dawn Mansarovar, MT Dawn Mathura and MT Dawn Madurai,  are owned by Arya Tankers and will operate along the Indian Coast. The fifth new tanker,  MT Portland Pearl, is owned by Union Maritime Limited and will operate in the Europe-to-Nigeria trade. All together they represent over 130,000 gross tons in the market.

“Crowley Accord draws on its pool of experienced resources, which are at its disposal both ashore and afloat,” Sanjay Shesh, Managing Director for Crowley Accord, said. “We utilize proven systems based on internationally recognized quality management principles and have the flexibility to meet all owners' needs for periodic technical and accounting reports – all things our new customers indicated were of importance to them.”

Crowley is one of the few U.S. companies that provides third-party international crewing and technical ship management. These latest additions come just short of the anniversary of the company’s acquisition, which took place in April of 2014, that allowed them to expand in the international ship management market.
