Crowley Maritime Corp. christened the first of four new, Jones Act product tankers at the Tampa Cruise Terminal. The 50,000 dead-weight-tons (dwt), 330,000-barrel-capacity ship named Ohio is the first tanker ever to receive the ABS LNG-Ready Level 1 approval, meaning Crowley has the option to convert the tanker to liquefied natural gas (LNG) propulsion in the future.
Over 100 guests watched as Pamela Beall, president of MPLX, a Marathon Petroleum Corporation subsidiary, performed the time-honored tradition of christening the vessel by breaking a ceremonial bottle of champagne across the hull of the vessel.
“Crowley is proud to welcome this historical vessel into service,” said Crowley’s Chairman, President and CEO Tom Crowley Jr. “As the first of its kind to officially be LNG-ready, it is a testament to Crowley’s promise to seek additional ways to exceed the technological requirements of our petroleum customers while doing our part to reduce environmental emissions.”
