More than 130 years later it is still owned and run by the Crowley family, with Thomas B. Crowley Jr. as chairman and CEO.

On the container side, Crowley Liner Services is the backbone of trade between the U.S. mainland and Puerto Rico, and it also runs regular sailings to the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Central American markets such as Panama, Costa Rica, Honduras, and Guatemala. The company is closely tied to the Jones Act trade and positions Jacksonville as a gateway into the region.
Crowley is best known for its ConRo ships, which combine stacked containers above deck with enclosed roll-on/roll-off vehicle decks below. Its LNG-powered Commitment-class vessels El Coqui (2018) and Taino (2019) each carry about 2,400 TEU plus hundreds of cars on the Puerto Rico run, and the newer LNG Avance-class ships, led by Quetzal, serve Central America and the Dominican Republic. In 2024 Crowley also introduced eWolf, the first fully electric tugboat built in the United States.

Crowley Maritime tracking reflects what the carrier and vessel feeds have reported, so there is often a lag between a real-world move and the update. Panvaya refreshes on a regular cycle; a shipment that looks stuck usually just means the next milestone (such as vessel departure or discharge) hasn't been filed yet.
