To better serve customers with integrated supply chain solutions, Crowley Maritime Corporation will complete the merger of its liner services group into Crowley Logistics on Jan. 1 under the leadership of Steve Collar, senior vice president and general manager, the company said in a press release.
The Crowley Logistics business unit provides a singular source for customers to receive end-to-end services, including ocean, land and air transportation; commercial transportation management; supply chain and distribution services; freight forwarding and warehousing; and cargo risk and customs compliance.
Collar will have responsibility for all aspects of the Logistics organization – now a $1 billion-a-year enterprise – including commercial, operations, offshore and financial.
Integrating liner services into logistics was planned as part of a corporate restructuring announced earlier this year that yielded four business units: Crowley Fuels, Crowley Solutions, Crowley Shipping and Crowley Logistics. This structure better aligns operations and increases the company’s ability to bring solutions to customers by leveraging its strong culture and high-performance capabilities.
