Crowley con-ro makes the rules

摘要

Operating under Jones Act regulations in the US, calling at ports in Florida and New Jersey and San Juan in Puerto Rico the WSD84 2,400TEU dual fuel con-ro will be the first LNG-powered container vessel to operate in the US when it enters service in May 2017. Crowley Maritime's new con-ro ships will replace four 730 and two 580 triple deck ro-ro barges, towed by Invader Class Tugs, sailing three times per week from Jacksonville, Florida, and once per week from Pennsauken, New Jersey. The fleet is part of a very extensive logistics train where any downtimes have dire consequences.
