CROFTON attended the Phillips Workforce Grand Opening last week in Portsmouth, VA. We're always happy to celebrate local efforts to strengthen the skilled workforce that keeps our region's industries moving.

Phillips Workforce provides hands-on industrial maintenance training to help manufacturers and shipbuilders develop new talent and upskill their existing employees.

It was exciting to see the facility come to life, including the equipment our team helped move into place!

Congratulations to the Phillips Workforce team on this milestone!

CROFTON was proud to attend the Ironclad Maritime Summit in Norfolk this week, joining industry leaders, military officials and policymakers for important conversations about the future of America’s maritime industrial base.

The future workforce was a major theme. The term “new collar” came up repeatedly, reflecting the evolving skills and hands-on experience needed to support the next generation of shipbuilding and maritime defense.

We also appreciated seeing our friends at the The Mariners' Museum and Park recognized during remarks by Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao. Fun Fact: Before becoming Secretary of the Navy, Cao served as a U.S. Navy deep-sea diver and participated in the recovery of the USS Monitor which is now at the Mariners Museum and Park!

We’re proud to be part of a maritime community working together to shape the future of our industry.

: Respect the Snap-Back Zone

Lines under tension store tremendous energy. When a line fails or comes loose, that energy can be released in an instant, causing the line to recoil with dangerous force.

Loads can shift unexpectedly, especially when passing vessel traffic creates movement between barges or vessels. Understanding where a line could travel if it fails is critical to keeping everyone safe.

Safety education helps our team recognize these hazards and know how to work safely around loaded lines. The photo below captures this kind of learning in action.

At CROFTON, Safety is one of our Core Values. We live it out by planning ahead, helping each other, taking responsibility and speaking up when something isn’t right.

The first photo shows a 1,000-ton-capacity marine railway designed by Juan Crofton and built for Humphreys Railway in Weems, Virginia to maintain their fleet of Menhaden fishing vessels.

The facility also holds another place in CROFTON history: It's where the CROMO was modified years earlier from a Naval Academy training vessel to a diving vessel - another project designed by Juan!
