Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments And Contingencies And Other Matters | Note 12 — Commitments and Contingencies and Other Matters Commitments We have long-term charter agreements with Siem Offshore AS (“Siem”) for the Siem Helix 1 and Siem Helix 2 vessels, which historically have been used in connection with our contracts with Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (“Petrobras”) to perform well intervention work offshore Brazil. The initial term of the charter agreements with Siem is for seven years, with options to extend. The Siem Helix 1 charter expires June 2023 and the Siem Helix 2 charter expires February 2024. We have time charter agreements for the Grand Canyon II and Grand Canyon III vessels. The expiration date of the Grand Canyon II charter was extended to December 2022, with an option to renew. The Grand Canyon III charter expires May 2023. Contingencies and Claims We believe that there are currently no contingencies that would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Litigation We are involved in various legal proceedings, some involving claims for personal injury under the General Maritime Laws of the United States and the Jones Act. In addition, from time to time we receive other claims, such as contract and employment-related disputes, in the normal course of business. We are currently involved in several lawsuits filed by current and former offshore employees seeking overtime compensation. These suits are brought as collective actions and are in various stages of litigation. In one such lawsuit, during the third quarter 2021 the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued a ruling adverse to us that may also have implications for some of the other cases in which we are involved, as well as the way offshore personnel are compensated throughout our industry. We intend to further appeal this matter and to continue vigorously defending these lawsuits. Notwithstanding that we believe we retain valid defenses, at this time we have established a liability for probable losses in certain of these matters. The final outcome of these matters remains uncertain and the ultimate liability to us could be more or less than the liability established.
