Crowley selected to manage four Jones Act ships for the Pasha Group

Crowley Maritime Corp.’s global ship management group has been awarded a new contract with Sunrise Operations LLC, a subsidiary of The Pasha Group, of San Rafael, Calif., for the operation, crewing and maintenance of four Jones Act ships operating between the U.S. West Coast and Hawaii. The news follows the recent announcement that Pasha Hawaii, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Pasha Group, a family-owned global logistics company, will assume operations for all of Horizon Lines’ Hawaii business, including these four U.S.-flagged container ships. “As a long-time Jones Act carrier, Crowley is well-suited to manage these U.S.-flagged vessels,” said Crowley’s Mike Golonka, vice president, ship management. “We are confident that our ability to offer company-wide resources and flexibility to work within their operational model is what set us apart, in addition to our proven experience in managing steam vessels for other companies. We look forward to working with Pasha in the management of their new ships.” Crowley’s ship management group provides all phases of commercial ship management, along with full technical management and government contracting. Crowley’s contract will encompass ship management for the Horizon Enterprise, Horizon Pacific, Horizon Reliance and Horizon Spirit. The company is providing a scaled, customized package of crewing and technical management services. Crowley provides similar services to other customers’ container ships around the world, including those in other Jones Act trades. Source: http://en.portnews.ru/news/200563/

Container ship assisted distressed yacht crew

On Apr 14, 2015, at 8:39 a.m., Coast Guard Sector Humboldt Bay watchstanders were notified by an operator aboard the "Horizon Enterprise" of an orange smoke flare. Once on scene, the "Horizon Enterprise" crew discovered a man aboard a 30-foot yellow-and-white sailing vessel waving his arms and yelling for help approximately 24 miles north west of Fort Bragg Tuesday morning. The USCG Sector Humboldt Bay dispatched a boatcrew from Coast Guard Station Noyo River and an aircrew from Coast Guard Air Station Humboldt Bay. At 9:54 a.m., the rescue aircrew located the sailboat with a 13-year-old boy and 48-year-old man aboard. The aircrew lowered a radio down to establish communications with the operator of the vessel; his radio became inoperable after he reportedly fell in the evening of Apr 13 and injured his leg and hip. Once the rescue boatcrew arrived on scene, they transferred the two people aboard and transported them to Fort Bragg, where emergency medical services personnel were waiting. Station Noyo River launched a second Motor Lifeboat crew to tow the sailing vessel back to shore. Report with photos: http://www.uscgnews.com/go/doc/4007/2491582/
