During the meeting in Long Beach, Calif., John Douglass, senior vice president and general manager, Puerto Rico/Caribbean services accepted the award on behalf of Crowley.
"Awards like these are truly special because they underscore the extreme dedication Crowley has to consistently deliver exceptional customer service," said Douglass. "Toyota is committed to designing and delivering high-quality vehicles and Crowley takes great pride in teaming with them to handle these vehicles safely and with supreme care."
Crowley reinvests profits to maintain and enhance the car decking on its vessels. The vessels are equipped to stow up to 240 vehicles per voyage in protected and dedicated auto decking space. A team of auto checkers and traffic specialists play a large role in ensuring that load lists are correct and documentation is complete prior to sailing. Additionally, the company has reserved, fenced terminal space for approximately 225 Toyota vehicles located directly across from the vessel-loading ramp, minimizing the need for terminal transit of Toyota vehicles.
