​Crowley and Puerto Rico recovering After Maria Hurricane

​Almost seven weeks passed after Maria hit but some are yet to feel the relief and ​recovery. With assistance of American Maritime Partnership there were additional vessels included into the Land-San Juan route to deliver more relief cargo to the island. 25 vessels more, and among them are container ships, RoRo and LoLo barges, offshore supply vessels. As the trade volume raised, domestic Puerto Rico shipping companies started adding additional ports of discharge to minimize the transit time. 53' containers were added to the routing and as it was reported on Nov 16th, by that moment the island has already accepted more than 36k containers of commercial and aid cargo.

J. Lauritzen Boosting Their Fleet

Danish shipper J. Lauritzen has added four more vessels to its chartered fleet during Q3 of 2017. Three bulk carriers and one pressurized gas carrier will serve on a medium-term time-charter.

The company announced its financial results for the quarter, with CEO Mads P. Zacho commenting on the EBITDA of USD -9.8 million: “Despite continued dry cargo improvements in Q3, a balanced market is still some time away.” 

The year-over-year EBITDA improved from USD -43.1 million to USD -23.2 million as the company paid off the outstanding JLA02 bond. J. Lauritzen currently controls 126 vessels.
