Crowley has moved to a new 70,000 square foot warehouse at JAXPORT's Dames Point location, minutes from the company's headquarters. With this move, the company has doubled its north Florida warehouse space. This new location at 3700 Port Jacksonville Parkway has 20 dock doors, 30-foot clear-height ceilings, and a 160-foot truck court that can be expanded to 200 feet.

The US Customs bonded warehouse is very close to the city's new TraPac container terminal and will allow Crowley to provide warehousing and distribution services to those shippers involved in the Asia trade. As the Panama Canal is expanded, volumes of freight coming to Jacksonville from Asia could potentially increase volumes to the warehouse and allow the logistics group to increase its breadth of service offerings.

"As we expand in new markets we will need additional space to grow with," said Carlos Rice, vice president of operations and supply chain management. "This new facility will provide an excellent possibility for growth in Jacksonville and will allow us to better serve our customers who need cross-docking, warehousing or distribution in the area."
