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.
