Crowley Maritime Corp.’s http://www.crowley.com liner services group has added 500 new 40-foot high-cube containers. The acquisition adds to the company’s already robust equipment fleet of more than 45,000 units, as well as phases out some older containers.

The new containers, which have capacities of 2,700 cubic feet, will be used in all liner service operations in Latin America, the Caribbean, and Puerto Rico.

The new containers, which contain durable North American oak wood flooring, exceed all new and amended ISO standards for freight container door security applications. A combination of security enhancements and upgrades deters and prevents unauthorized access into containers and loaded cargo.
