Crowley Christens Barge 455-2 at Gunderson Marine

Crowley Maritime Corporation Saturday christened and launched barge 455-2, the second of three Heavy Lift 455 Series flat-deck barges that will be built and delivered to Crowley this year by Gunderson Marine in Portland, Oregon. The three 400-foot by 105-foot-wide deck barges are being built to handle project work for the offshore energy industry – primarily in the Gulf of Mexico. The addition of these vessels helps to expand and keep current Crowley’s fleet for customers of the company’s marine services business segment.
