US-owned and -operated maritime solutions company Crowley on Tuesday (12 August) said its latest LNG-powered containership, Torogoz, began its inaugural commercial service, departing from Port Everglades, Florida, to serve Central America.
The vessel’s commencement is a capstone on the company’s initiation of the four-vessel, Avance Class containership fleet.
“Bringing Torogoz into service to complete the landmark introduction of our Avance Class fleet marks a major milestone in Crowley’s commitment to bringing efficient logistics solutions to customers in Central America and the Caribbean Basin,” said Vice President Claudia Kattan-Jordan, Crowley Logistics for Central America, Panama and Mexico.
“Because of Torogoz’s capacity for diverse dry and refrigerated goods, Crowley can provide faster, high-capability service with reliability that is unmatched in the trade.”
With a capacity of 1,400 TEUs (20-foot equivalent units), including 300 refrigerated containers, the ship is specifically designed and equipped to quickly and frequently deliver cargo between the US and El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua.
The Torogoz follows the operation of its sister ships: Tiscapa, Quetzal and Copán.
