Black History Month is a celebration of the countless contributions that have shaped our present world, including through the advancements and expertise of African Americans in the logistics, supply chain, and maritime industries. From port cities to global trade routes, their labor and innovation have been fundamental to economic growth and industry advancement. The Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) theme for 2025, ‘African Americans and Labor,’ underscores the vital role African Americans have played across sectors, including transportation and trade. Learn more about the ASALH and the origins of Black History Month at the link below.
We are beyond proud of Captain Kurt Breitfeller and the entire El Coqui crew for their selflessness and dedication protecting lives and ensuring safety at sea this week. They assisted the U.S. Coast Guard along with fishermen from the nearby vessel Bonanza to rescue four people who had to abandon their sailboat in the Atlantic Ocean, north of the Dominican Republic. Safety is a cornerstone of the U.S. domestic maritime industry, and this week, it was exemplified through the quick actions and teamwork of those involved to locate, retrieve and transport the four to safety. *Photos and videos provided by Crowley personnel aboard El Coqui
