The Trusted Solution Since 1949
We had a fantastic time at the Virginia Maritime Association Mixer at New Realm Brewing in Suffolk! As a proud sponsor of the event, CROFTON was thrilled to support an evening of networking, industry connections, and great conversations with fellow maritime professionals. Thanks to VMA for hosting another great gathering!
We are excited to announce that Kevin Crofton (Estimator) and Olga Mileyko (Project Manager, PMP) have been accepted into the Virginia Maritime Association’s Maritime Leadership Certificate Program. Kevin, who has been with CROFTON since August 2012, and Olga, who joined the team in August 2020, attended the program’s kickoff event on Thursday, March 19th.
This prestigious program will provide Kevin and Olga with valuable insights and skills to enhance their leadership capabilities in the maritime industry. We are proud of their continued professional growth and look forward to seeing the impact this experience will have on their work at CROFTON!
We’re proud to share that Kenny Crofton and Camille Crofton Cherry have been named to CoVa BIZ Magazine’s 150 Most Influential People list!

At CROFTON, we take pride in supporting critical training exercises that enhance emergency preparedness and safety on the water. Recently, we had the opportunity to assist with the Annual SAR Forum, a large-scale search and rescue exercise designed to prepare first responders for real-world aviation emergencies.
Our team played a key role in lifting and transporting an aircraft fire training prop, owned by the Virginia Department of Fire Programs, which was used to simulate a mass casualty scenario—something akin to the Miracle on the Hudson. In this exercise, a small passenger plane was staged as crash-landing onto a fuel barge (a CROFTON barge), with survivors requiring triage and transport. Responders worked to extinguish a simulated fire and contain a potential fuel spill, ensuring a highly realistic training environment.
We’re honored to have collaborated with The Port of Virginia and the dedicated first responders who made this exercise a success. By working together, we help ensure our maritime communities are prepared for anything.
CROFTON is featured in TowneBank’s latest issue of “TowneToday.” The article takes a deep dive into our 75-year history, highlighting our roots in commercial diving, our expansion into marine construction and crane rental, and, most importantly, the people who make it all happen.
From the early days of “The Cromo” to our commitment to workforce development and industry partnerships, TowneToday captures the essence of what makes CROFTON unique and the values that continue to drive us forward.
