General – supply vessels
Hornbeck Offshore has acquired three high-spec offshore supply vessels at auction from the United States Maritime Administration.
Todd Hornbeck, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We believe these modern, state-of-the-art, high-spec, diesel-electric OSVs are great additions to our growing fleet. Built by Eastern Shipbuilding in 2013 and 2014 to a design specification and with components that are very compatible with our other ‘Tiger Shark Class’ vessels, these particular ships are excellent candidates for deployment in the growing U.S. domestic offshore wind industry, as well as for potential conversion to military or other non-oilfield, non-wind specialty applications.”
