Good catch! I usually try and stay up on the new builds and wondered if Gulfmark was building anything in the Gulf. They usually stay pretty busy building stuff overseas.
The US built ones look like they will be nice boats.
More of the Perla/Rigdon designs or did all end up at Bourbon?
the Thoma-Sea vessels looks to be a TAI design. a smaller version of the GOL vessel being built at their Lockport yard.
