By 2012, Crowley vessels had collectively logged more than 400 years of safe operations, by Devlin Award standards. Also, six additional Crowley vessels were recognized for their safe 2012 operations, bringing the number of awarded vessels up to 73. Crowley’s Valdez Star, the company’s longest standing award winner has operated for 22 years without an LTI. Like all Crowley vessels, the Valdez Star consistently performs above and beyond industry safety standards.
“As the company’s No. 1 core value, safety is always in the forefront of our minds,” said Mike Golonka, Crowley vice president of ship management. “It’s very gratifying for our crews to be honored for their safety accomplishments. The Devlin Awards are but one way to recognize that Crowley seagoing employees take a personal responsibility for the safety of themselves and their fellow shipmates. We are honored to be recognized with these awards again in 2012.”
