Seacor Inc. and COSCO has gone together to operate 8 new state of the art PSVs stranded at COSCOs yard in China.

Seacor bought the Cosco boats in 2018. Old news.

BTW; Seacor has purchased three more UT 771 boats from COSCO yards, which has not yet been completed.
Those will come with battery packs and are not part of the J/V:
