Video of the ship being transferred from land to water Monday can be viewed here [ link to come]. The launch of the ship in Pascagoula, Miss., marks the latest achievement in Crowley’s transformation and modernization of its shipping and logistics services between Jacksonville, Fla., and San Juan, Puerto Rico. The new ships, port terminal improvements and technology upgrades underway are all designed to improve the overall velocity of the customers’ supply chains and speed products to retail shelves.

Of importance are three ship-to-shore [container cranes](https://conro.crowley.com/news/crowley-makes-history-in-san-juan-with-arrival-of-new-cranes), which will be used to load and unload containerized cargo carried aboard Crowley’s two new, Commitment Class combination container/Roll-On Roll-Off (ConRo) [ships](https://conro.crowley.com/ships), powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG). The 65-meters tall Liebherr container cranes are some of the most technically advanced, ship-to-shore gantries in operation nearly anywhere today.  What still may be a secret to you, however, is how Crowley can offer maximum container loading and unloading efficiency, while turning cargo for customers faster than other carriers. The reason is due in large part to these nine** **smart innovations Crowley is incorporating in the terminal upgrades: ](https://conro.crowley.com/news/nine-smart-terminal-upgrades-in-pr) [Puerto Rico Terminal](https://conro.crowley.com/news/topic/puerto-rico-terminal) [ConRo Ships](https://conro.crowley.com/news/topic/conro-ships) [Commitment Class](https://conro.crowley.com/news/topic/commitment-class) [Puerto Rico](https://conro.crowley.com/news/topic/puerto-rico) [shipping](https://conro.crowley.com/news/topic/shipping) [terminal](https://conro.crowley.com/news/topic/terminal) [expeditionary logistics](https://conro.crowley.com/news/topic/expeditionary-logistics) [innovation](https://conro.crowley.com/news/topic/innovation) [![](https://conro.crowley.com/hubfs/Digital%20Marketing%20-%20All%20Files/_Projects/PR%20ConRo/ConRo%20Ships/Ship%20Images/Patrick%26Eddie.Still001.png) ## Crowley's Construction Management Team Drives Efficient, Quality Build-Out at Shipyard A key to Crowley’s success currently building its Commitment Class ships powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG) is the company’s construction management team. Lead by manager Patrick Sperry, they are using the company’s deep well of expertise and experience delivering high performing ships, this time on Crowley’s own two combination container/Roll-On Roll-Off vessels being built at VT Halter Marine.
