Crowley Launches Tiscapa to Enhance Logistics Operations
Crowley Expands Fleet with New LNG Vessel
Crowley has taken an exciting step forward by adding the LNG-powered containership, Tiscapa, to its fleet. This new addition is set to enhance logistics services connecting the U.S. with the Caribbean and Central America, offering greater efficiency and reliability.
Inaugural Service and Features
With its first voyage underway, Tiscapa brings modern advancements to Crowley's shipping capabilities. This ship is part of the Avance Class and has a capacity of 1,400 TEUs, including 300 refrigerated units. Its design focuses on rapid delivery while leveraging liquefied natural gas as a cleaner fuel alternative.
Commitment to Sustainable Logistics
Andrew Davis, vice president of operations for Crowley Logistics, emphasized the importance of Tiscapa in the company’s mission, stating, "The addition of Tiscapa to our fleet marks another milestone in Crowley's commitment to delivering efficient and reliable logistics solutions across the region." This LNG-powered vessel allows for a significant reduction in emissions, aligning with global sustainability goals.
Direct Market Connections
Tiscapa's inaugural journey signals a new era of trade facilitation, particularly benefiting the Caribbean Basin. The vessel will consistently connect the U.S. trade with markets in the Caribbean and Central America, focusing on essential goods such as medical supplies and perishables.
Following in the Footsteps of Previous Vessels
This innovative vessel follows its sister ships, Quetzal and Copán, which have been tailored for services between the U.S. and Central American countries like El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. As these ships serve the growing trade demands, Crowley solidifies its critical role in the logistics ecosystem.
A Tribute to Central American Culture
The name Tiscapa carries historical significance, named after a lagoon rich in culture near Managua, Nicaragua. With over 60 years of operational experience in the region, Crowley’s Avance Class ships reflect the cultural heritage and geographical richness of Central America.
Anticipating Future Additions
Crowley's fleet will soon welcome the fourth Avance Class ship, Torogoz, expected to be in service shortly. This new addition, named after El Salvador's national bird, showcases Crowley's dedication to expanding its logistics capabilities within the region.
