Crowley will make wholesale purchases of Shell motor fuel and transport, distribute and sell the fuel to these independently owned and operated sites. With this addition, Crowley now serves dealers at all 17 Shell-branded service stations in Alaska, including three outlets owned and operated by Crowley.
The agreement, reached [image-nocss] Wednesday, allows Shell and its dealers to leverage Crowley's statewide transportation and distribution capabilities to supply Shell motor fuel for consumers in Alaska. The Shell stations are located in Anchorage, Eagle River, Kenai and the Matanuska-Susitna Borough.
Crowley also agreed to a multi-year Wholesale Marketer Agreement with Shell, which means that Crowley will help protect the Shell brand by working with dealers on Shell marketing programs and ensuring they maintain stations and operations to the company's high standards.
As the only wholesale representative for Shell currently in Alaska, we welcome the opportunity to add these stations to our dealer network, said Bob Cox, Crowley's vice president of business development in Anchorage.
Since 1953, Crowley has provided various marine, petroleum distribution, and energy support services in Alaska.
With a storage capacity of more than 39 million gallons, Crowley is a leader in the Alaska fuel industry, providing transportation, distribution and sales of petroleum products to more than 280 communities across Alaska.
