    Default What companies have large OSVs?

    I am curious as to what companies have large OSVs that utilize the OSV-6000 license.

    Chouest, Hornbeck, Gulfmark, and? Any others? What about Tidewater?

    and, then there is the 10,000 ton OSV license that will be available next year to companies with the approved program.

    I had heard the tonnage limitation of 6000 ITC regarding OSVs was being completely done away with. (ie striking the wording from the CFRs / USC). Or did they just raise the maximum size to 10K

    The wording is struck from the CFR (whenever it is updated and codified based on HR3619) , but the 6,000 ton license will remain. A requirement of the 10,000 ton is 1-year sea-time under the 6,000 ton license. The 6,000 ton endorsement isn't going anywhere. Just a new license with more requirements created. There is no longer a regulatory limit to the size of an OSV, but as far as manning, and current designs, there is no need to extend past 10,000 tons - for licensing. There is no basis and all parties seem to have settled at this number for several reasons, last I heard. There is a long way to go as far as developing the final result of a new license. At the end of the day, there will be more requirements of OSV's than a regular merchant ship.

    Seacor does NOT have a large osv program.
    Chouest,Tidewater, Hornbeck, and Otto Candies definitely do.

    Looking on GulfMark's website it appears that they do not have any Large OSVs in the Gulf of Mexico, is that just because of the state of drilling in the Gulf now or did they never have a Large OSV program?

    I think they never had one. Their bigger boats are the ones they got when they acquired Rigdom Marine (not sure if I spelled that right).
