U.S.-based SEACOR Marine, a subsidiary of SEACOR Holdings Inc. (NYSE: CKH), operates a fleet of offshore marine support vessels, serving the global offshore oil and gas exploration and production industry worldwide with operations and infrastructure concentrated in the United States, Latin America, North Sea, West Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.
Based in Holland and the United Kingdom, Windcat operates in the main offshore wind markets in Europe.
