In October 2015, Crowley Maritime Corporation took delivery of the MT Ohio, the first of four new, Jones Act, product tankers built at Aker Philadelphia Shipyard, Inc. (APSI), the wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of Aker Philadelphia Shipyard ASA.

The MT Ohio was later joined by sister ships Louisiana, Ohio and Texas, which were received by Crowley later in 2015 and 2016 as the first-ever tankers to receive the American Bureau of Shipping’s (ABS) LNG-Ready Level 1 approval.

The 50,000 dead-weight-tons (dwt) product tankers are based on a proven Hyundai Mipo Dockyards (HMD). The vessels are 600 feet long and are capable of carrying 330,000 barrels of crude oil or refined petroleum products.

Crowley’s Seattle-based, naval architecture and marine engineering subsidiary Jensen Maritime provided construction management services for the product tankers with an on-site office and personnel at the Philadelphia shipyard to ensure strong working relationships with shipyard staff and a seamless construction and delivery program.
