The acquisition of Tamarind’s operations, including warehousing and non-vessel operation common carrier (NVOCC) services is designed to complement US-based Crowley’s existing maritime and logistics solutions and will expand solutions for customers in Virgin Gorda and surrounding BVI locations.

“Tamarind and Crowley are a natural fit with our shared understanding of the supply chain needs of customers in the British Virgin Islands and the companies’ commitment to being a lasting partner for customers,” said Brett Bennett, senior vice president and general manager, Crowley Logistics.

“This is an exciting expansion for Crowley, and we look forward to building on the success of Tamarind so customers can benefit from the efficiencies, scale and technology available at Crowley.”

Crowley has provided ocean shipping, warehousing and distribution, customs brokerage, insurance, and door delivery for more than 60 years in the Caribbean.
