Company Overview

We are a leading provider of marine transportation services to exploration and production, oilfield service, offshore construction and military customers. Since our establishment, we have primarily focused on providing innovative, technologically advanced marine solutions to meet the evolving needs of the deepwater and ultra-deepwater energy industry in domestic and, more recently, foreign locations. Throughout our history, we have expanded our fleet of vessels primarily through a series of new vessel construction programs, as well as through acquisitions of existing vessels.

Company History

In 1980, after managing a publicly traded, multinational offshore marine services vessel company for 11 years, Larry Hornbeck launched his own vision of success by founding the original Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. in Galveston, Texas. One year later, he took the company public on the NASDAQ and traded under the symbol “HOSS.” Larry’s son Todd, at the time only 12 years old, took an early interest in learning the boat business at his father’s side. Summer jobs on the vessels, in the shipyards and around the office laid a foundation for his future in the industry.

Over the next 16 years, HOSS grew through new construction and seven acquisitions into the second largest offshore services vessel fleet in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico with over 100 vessels operating worldwide. HOSS was merged into Tidewater in 1996, however, Larry wisely retained the rights to the company name and logo to pass on to the next generation.
