The company is a provider of marine services to exploration and production, oilfield service, offshore construction and military customers. Its upstream segment owns and operates fleets of United States flagged, new generation OSVs and United States-owned fleets of DP-2 and DP-3 MPSVs.

The company recently sold its fleet of ocean-going tugs and product barges to Genesis Energy. The company will continue to focus on its core business of operating a modern fleet of OSVs primarily in the US Gulf of Mexico.
