SEACOR Marine Unveils New Fleet of Fast Support Vessels

HOUMA, La.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Seacor Marine Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SMHI) (“SEACOR” or the “Company”) is
pleased to unveil the first of a new fleet of Fast Support Vessels
(FSV), focused on enhanced passenger comfort and increased speed.

The M/V Ava J McCall offers passengers a cabin arrangement that
simulates first class airline seating. It is the first and only monohull
in the industry equipped with a first class “pod” seating configuration.
With 56 seats, the vessel provides passengers with privacy and other
comforts including folding tray tables, reading light and foot rest. The
seats are much wider than industry standard and will recline 60 degrees
within the pod. Other amenities include USB power for charging personal
electronic devices, wifi access, satellite TV and low-tone LED lighting,
which provides a more relaxed atmosphere. The passenger area is also
equipped with a galley, which offers refrigerated storage for quick
service meals and beverages as well as a coffee and snack bar available
to all passengers. In addition to this new concept seating, the vessel
also has a conference table in the passenger area with seating for 12.
Passenger comfort is further increased with a stabilizer and ride
control system that reduces the motion of the vessel affording
passengers the most comfortable ride in the industry.

The 13,500 horsepower propulsion system onboard the M/V Ava J McCall
allows the vessel to achieve a maximum speed of 38 knots, far above the
industry standard. The vessel was also built with ABS Class 2 Kongsberg
dynamic positioning system and the vessel’s 8 thrusters provide
excellent station keeping and system redundancy.

The Ava J McCall was built by Gulf Craft in Franklin, LA, one of the
most experienced and capable shipyards in the U.S., and was engineered
by Incat Crowther, an Australia company with office in Lafayette, LA.
