| Commitments and Contingencies | 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES As of June 30, 2026, the Company had unfunded capital commitments of $39.4 million consisting of $37.5 million in respect of the construction of two PSVs, $1.7 million in respect of two hybrid battery power systems and $0.2 million for miscellaneous vessel equipment. Of the unfunded capital commitments, $21.2 million is payable during the remainder of 2026, $16.5 million is payable during 2027 and the remainder is payable during 2028. As of June 30, 2026, $37.0 million remained in a restricted account designated to make payments on the construction of the two PSVs, of which $11.3 million was deposited during the first quarter of 2026 from the sale of one PSV, $23.8 million was deposited during the second quarter of 2026 from the sale of two PSVs and one FSV, and the remainder from prior vessel sales, all in accordance with the terms of the 2024 SMFH Credit Facility as previously described in the 2025 Annual Report. The funds deposited in the restricted account will be used to fully fund the remaining payments for the construction of the two PSVs, without the need for any additional proceeds from Tranche B of the 2024 SMFH Credit Facility, of which $16.4 million was drawn as of June 30, 2026. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company exercised its right to cancel the remaining borrowing capacity of $24.6 million of this tranche in accordance with the terms of the 2024 SMFH Credit Facility. In December 2015, the Brazilian Federal Revenue Office issued a tax-deficiency notice to Seabulk Offshore do Brasil Ltda., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of SEACOR Marine (“Seabulk Offshore do Brasil”), with respect to certain profit participation contributions (also known as “PIS”) and social security financing contributions (also known as “COFINS”) requirements alleged to be due from Seabulk Offshore do Brasil (“Deficiency Notice”) in respect of the period of January 2011 until December 2012. In January 2016, the Company administratively appealed the Deficiency Notice on the basis that, among other arguments, (i) such contributions were not applicable in the circumstances of a 70%/30% cost allocation structure, and (ii) the tax inspector had incorrectly determined that values received from outside of Brazil could not be classified as expense refunds. The initial appeal was dismissed by the Brazilian Federal Revenue Office and the Company appealed such dismissal and is currently awaiting an administrative trial. A local Brazilian law has been enacted that supports the Company’s position that such contribution requirements are not applicable, but it is uncertain whether such law will be taken into consideration with respect to administrative proceedings commenced prior to the enactment of the law. Accordingly, the success of Seabulk Offshore do Brasil in the administrative proceedings cannot be assured and the matter may need to be addressed through judicial court proceedings. The potential levy arising from the Deficiency Notice is R$31.4 million based on a historical potential levy of R$12.87 million (USD $6.1 million and USD $2.5 million, respectively, based on the exchange rate as of June 30, 2026). In the normal course of its business, the Company becomes involved in various other litigation matters including, among others, claims by third parties for alleged property damages and personal injuries. Management has used estimates in determining the Company’s potential exposure to these matters and has recorded reserves in its financial statements related thereto where appropriate. It is possible that a change in the Company’s estimates of that exposure could occur, but the Company does not expect that such changes in estimated costs would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are participating employers in two industry-wide, multi-employer, defined benefit pension funds in the United Kingdom: the U.K Merchant Navy Officers Pension Fund (“MNOPF”) and the U.K. Merchant Navy Ratings Pension Fund (“MNRPF”). The Company’s participation in the MNOPF began with the acquisition of the Stirling group of companies (the “Stirling Group”) in 2001 and relates to certain officers employed between 1978 and 2002 by the Stirling Group and/or its predecessors. The Company’s participation in the MNRPF also began with the acquisition of the Stirling Group in 2001 and relates to ratings employed by the Stirling Group and/or its predecessors through today. Both of these plans are in deficit positions and, depending upon the results of future actuarial valuations, it is possible that the plans could experience funding deficits that will require the Company to recognize payroll related operating expenses in the periods invoices are received. As of June 30, 2026, all invoices received related to MNOPF and MNRPF have been settled in full. |
