The deal covers full turnkey operation and management of the fleet, including crewing and repair and drydocking services initially for one year with four, additional one-year options.
The Florida-based company said the deal said the turnover phase for the US-government-owned ships began on 1 October 2015.
Of these five vessels, two will remain berthed in Jacksonville and three will be homeported in Norfolk – all within the service area of Crowley’s local offices.
