Crowley procures the Distribution Center in Puerto Rico

Guaynabo

Crowley Maritime’s Caribbean logistics unit has nearly doubled its distribution center space in Puerto Rico with the acquisition of a warehouse adjacent to Crowley’s existing 70,000-square-foot facility in Guaynabo.

The expansion will bring the company's total distribution center space on the island to 119,800 square feet and also improve its ability to provide a wider suite of shipping and logistics services to customers.

Crowley senior vice president and general manager of logistics Mr. Steve Collar said with the larger facilities the company can increase its cargo intake and better accommodate its retail customers on the island.

"We can handle any sized shipment, provide warehousing and deliver it to the customer's door when it is needed. This helps customers be more efficient and cost effective," Mr. Collar said.

"The additional warehouse space serves as a centralized routing center for both large and small cargo moving between the US and Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, Central America and beyond.

"Combined with our shipping routes, customers can now count on us for all of their shipping and logistics needs in the region."

Additionally, the company is also investing in its fleet of equipment and an online cargo management system, which offers real-time tracking and receiving information, product allocations, order processing, inventory control and delivery confirmations for customers.
