(SAN PEDRO, Calif.; Feb. 1, 2011) â¬- Crowley Maritime has relocated its Inglewood, Calif., logistics office to a larger facility in San Pedro, Calif. The new office is strategically located near the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, and will continue to provide ocean, air freight and Customs brokerage services.

The relocation is part of a larger company expansion along the U.S. West Coast to supply customers in the Far East and in Central and South America with Crowley's logistics services. The move also supports Crowley's expanding trucking, intermodal and logistics capabilities on the West Coast.

"The relocation of this office was an ideal move for the company," said Crowley's Kip Douglass, director of North America transportation. "In addition to having a strong team, we now have a larger and more strategic presence on the West Coast to better serve our clients."

"The move also will enable us to grow our trucking, intermodal and logistics services," continued Crowley's David O'Connor, also director of North America transportation. "It's a win-win for everyone."

The new Crowley address is 300 South Harbor Boulevard, San Pedro, Calif., 90731. The office phone number has also been changed to (310) 348-3700. Staff members' email addresses - including the main office address, CLILAXBrokerageOps@crowley.com - will remain unchanged.
