Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. announced that it has acquired three high-spec new generation offshore supply vessels from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Maritime Administration for an undisclosed amount of cash. All three of the vessels that were acquired at auction are U.S.-flagged, Jones Act-qualified, 280 class DP-2 OSVs with capacities of circa 4,600 DWT. Upon taking physical delivery of the vessels from MARAD, the Company expects to conduct reactivation and regulatory drydockings of all three vessels.
