Crowley Accord Shipmanagement is to add reefer vessels to fleet
CROWLEY Accord Shipmanagement is to add reefer vessels to its growing and diverse fleet, as owners look to outsource technical management during a downturn in demand.
"The traditional reefer vessel sector is going through a downturn and it makes sense for owners to outsource technical management to ship management companies," said managing director Sanjay Shesh in a statement. "We have the expertise in-house to manage these ships safely, economically and efficiently so that owners can focus more on commercial operations."
The company's fleet of 75 vessels now includes tankers, accommodation barges, roll-on/roll-off carriers, deep water pipe laying vessels, bulk carriers, self-propelled jack-up barges, container ships, tug boats, heavy lift vessels, trans-shippers, general cargo vessels, and offshore supply vessels.
Seaborne reefer cargo grew 4.9 per cent in 2014, with most of the growth in the reefer containership sector, according to Drewry Maritime Research's latest Reefer Shipping Market Annual Review & Forecast.
