We note your response to prior comment 8; however, we were unable to locate disclosure of the specific assumptions used in your estimates in preparing the undiscounted future cash flows for the vessel impairment analysis. Please tell us and disclose the significant assumptions used in reviewing vessels for impairment, including, but not limited to, utilization rates, average charter rates, and average daily operating expenses. Also include the historical period of time (e.g. 1, 3, 5, 10 years) upon which this information is based, and provide the basis for the period of time for the amounts used, and why you consider these amounts to be reasonable. Finally, tell us how the amounts used in your analysis compare to actual amounts experienced currently and over the last period.

2.

We note your response to prior comment 9. Please revise to provide disclosure regarding the limitations of the usefulness of the non-GAAP measure, “Direct Vessel Profit”, to emphasize that the excluded costs (i.e., costs of leased-in equipment, administrative and general) are essential to support the operations of your vessels. Also in this regard, the presentation of the reconciliation of the non-GAAP measure to its most comparable GAAP measure should begin with operating income, and then list the adjustments to arrive at “Direct Vessel Profit.” Please revise.

3.	Please explain to us in more detail why it is reasonable to include the revenues derived from leased-in equipment while excluding their related costs and expenses in your non-GAAP presentation.

4.	Please revise to provide a statement disclosing the reason(s) why management believes that presentation of the non-GAAP measure “Direct Vessel Profit” provides useful information to investors regarding the company’s financial condition and results of operations in accordance with Item 10(e)(1)(i)(C).

5.

You state in the first paragraph of your response to comment 10 that you generally do not evaluate impairment on a specific vessel by vessel basis. However, we note your disclosure on page F-41 you determined that one mini-supply vessel, one specialty vessel, 13 anchor handling towing supply vessels, eight supply vessels and 13 liftboats, in which there is sufficient uncertainty as to whether or not their carrying values would be recovered as of September 30, 2016. In that regard, explain to us how you can pinpoint the vessels failing the step 1 or undiscounted cash flows part of the impairment test while you do not evaluate impairment on a specific vessel by vessel basis.

For purposes of any SEACOR Employee Stock Purchase Plan offering period in effect as of the Effective Time, the opening purchase price of each such share of SEACOR Common Stock shall equal (A) the original opening purchase price of a share of SEACOR Common Stock on the first day of the offering period, multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the last published “ex-dividend” closing trading price of a share of SEACOR Common Stock on the NYSE prior to the Distribution, and the denominator of which is the last published “regular way” closing trading price of a share of SEACOR Common Stock on the NYSE prior to the Distribution, and rounded up to the nearest whole cent.

(c)	As of the Effective Time, SEACOR Marine Employees and any other employees of SEACOR Marine or its Subsidiaries will cease participation in SEACOR’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan and will be repaid any contributions to SEACOR’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan that have not been used to purchase shares of SEACOR Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Q:	What is the spin-off?

A:

The spin-off is the transaction of separating SEACOR Marine from SEACOR Holdings. Upon the spin-off, SEACOR Marine will be an independent operator of a fleet of offshore support vessels, which will serve the global offshore oil and gas exploration and production industry. SEACOR Holdings’ other remaining businesses will remain with SEACOR Holdings. The spin-off will be accomplished by distributing all outstanding shares of SEACOR Marine common stock pro rata to holders of SEACOR Holdings common stock. If all conditions to the effectiveness of the spin-off are met, then all of the outstanding shares of SEACOR Marine common stock will be distributed to holders of SEACOR Holdings common stock on the distribution date. Every share of SEACOR Holdings common stock outstanding as of the record date for the distribution will entitle its holder to receive 1.007 shares of SEACOR Marine common stock (based on the number of shares of SEACOR Holdings common stock outstanding as of April 24, 2017 ), which assumes that holders of the SEACOR Holdings Convertible Notes, as defined below, do not convert their notes prior to the record date for the spin-off. Following the spin-off, SEACOR Holdings will no longer hold any outstanding capital stock of SEACOR Marine, all of which will be held by SEACOR Holdings’ stockholders as of the record date, and SEACOR Marine will be an independent, publicly traded company. We have applied to list our common stock on the NYSE under the symbol “SMHI.”

Q:	What is the reason for the spin-off?

A:

SEACOR Holdings regularly reviews and evaluates the various businesses it operates and the fit that these businesses have within its overall portfolio to help ensure that resources are being put to use in a manner that is in the best interests of SEACOR Holdings and its stockholders. The separation of SEACOR Marine from SEACOR Holdings and the distribution of SEACOR Marine stock are intended to provide you with equity ownership in two separate, publicly traded companies that will be able to focus on each of their respective operating priorities and business strategies. This determination was made based on the SEACOR Holdings board of directors’ belief that the separation of our business from SEACOR Holdings’ other businesses would be the most efficient manner to distribute the business to SEACOR Holdings stockholders, and that separating us from SEACOR Holdings would provide financial, operational and managerial benefits to both SEACOR Holdings and us, including but not limited to the following:

•

Ability to Use Equity as Consideration for Acquisitions. The spin-off will provide each of SEACOR Holdings and us with enhanced flexibility to use our respective stock as consideration in pursuing certain financial and strategic objectives, including mergers and acquisitions involving other companies or businesses engaged in our respective industries. We believe that we will be able to more easily facilitate future strategic transactions with businesses in our industry through the use of our stand-alone stock as consideration. Although we have no current plans to engage in a merger or similar transaction with any particular company, we believe that potential counterparties in our industry are typically more interested in receiving stock of a company whose value is tied directly to the offshore marine services business, rather than stock of a more diversified company whose value embodies a number of other businesses. Further, SEACOR Holdings believes that potential acquisition targets of some of its other businesses would be more interested in pursuing transactions in which they received stock whose value is not tied, in part, to the offshore marine services business.

•

Respective Management Teams Better Able to Focus on Business Operations. The separation will enable the management of each company to devote its time and attention to the development and implementation of corporate strategies and policies that are tailored to their respective businesses. Management’s strategies will be based on the specific business characteristics of the respective companies, without the need to consider the effects those decisions may have on the other businesses. SEACOR Holdings management spends significant time determining strategic, financial and operational requirements of each business, and how the company’s defined pool of capital will be allocated among its businesses. The SEACOR Holdings board of directors believes that the spin-off will allow each

---

•

Improved Management Incentive Tools. We expect to use equity-based incentive awards to compensate current and future employees. SEACOR Holdings believes that future compensation of our employees in the form of SEACOR Holdings equity does not serve the desired purpose of incentivizing our employees to maximize our profits because the relative performance and size of SEACOR Holdings’ other businesses would have a significant impact on the value of SEACOR Holdings equity-based compensation issued to our employees. Following the spin-off, appreciation in the value of shares underlying our equity-based awards granted to our employees will no longer be impacted by the performance of SEACOR Holdings’ other businesses. Rather, equity-based incentive awards granted to our employees will be tied directly to our performance, providing employees with incentives more closely linked to the achievement of our specific performance objectives. This will better align our employee interests with the interests of our stockholders. Certain members of our senior management have expressed a strong preference for receiving equity compensation tied solely to our performance. We believe that offering equity compensation tied directly to our performance will assist in attracting and retaining qualified personnel.

•

Enhanced Strategic and Operational Capabilities. Following the spin-off, SEACOR Holdings and SEACOR Marine will each have a more focused business and be better able to dedicate financial, managerial and other resources to leverage their respective areas of strength and differentiation. Each company will pursue appropriate growth opportunities and execute strategic plans best suited to address the distinct market trends and opportunities for its business. SEACOR Holdings has a defined pool of capital with which to develop its businesses and pursue new projects. Separating SEACOR Marine from the rest of SEACOR Holdings’ businesses will allow each business to make independent investment decisions based on its unique strategy and opportunities. We plan to focus on leveraging our strong liquidity, balance sheet and operational expertise to strategically grow through asset acquisitions. Without needing to compete with the capital allocation needs of SEACOR Holdings’ other businesses, we can opportunistically acquire offshore assets at attractive valuations, basing any investment decision solely on our independent long-term growth strategy.

Q:	What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to me of the separation?

A:

It is a condition to the completion of the distribution that SEACOR Holdings obtain an opinion of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, substantially to the effect that the separation qualifies as a transaction that is described in Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). Assuming the separation so qualifies for U.S. federal income tax purposes, no gain or loss generally will be recognized by SEACOR Holdings in connection with the separation and no gain or loss will be recognized by you, and no amount will be included in your income upon the receipt of SEACOR Marine shares in the distribution. You will, however, recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to cash received in lieu of a fractional share of SEACOR Marine common stock. For more information regarding the opinion of counsel and the potential U.S. federal income tax consequences to SEACOR Holdings and to you of the separation, see the section entitled “The Spin-Off–Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.”

Q:	What will I receive in the spin-off?

A:

Each share of SEACOR Holdings common stock outstanding as of the record date for the distribution will entitle its holder to receive 1.007 shares of SEACOR Marine common stock (based on the number of shares of SEACOR Holdings common stock outstanding as of April 24, 2017 ), which assumes that holders of the SEACOR Holdings Convertible Notes do not convert their notes prior to the record date for the spin-off. For a more detailed description, see “The Spin-Off.”

Q:	Will I receive fractional shares of SEACOR Marine common stock in the distribution?

A:

Holders of SEACOR Holdings common stock will not receive fractional shares of SEACOR Marine common stock in the distribution. Fractional shares that SEACOR Holdings stockholders would otherwise have been entitled to receive will be aggregated and sold in the public market by the distribution agent. The aggregate net cash proceeds of these sales will be distributed pro rata (based on the fractional share such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive) to those stockholders who would otherwise have been entitled to receive fractional shares. Recipients of cash in lieu of fractional shares will not be entitled to any interest on the amounts of payment made in lieu of fractional shares.

Q:	What are holders of SEACOR Holdings 3.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “SEACOR Holdings 2028 Convertible Notes”) or 2.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “SEACOR Holdings 2027 Convertible Notes” and, together with the SEACOR Holdings 2028 Convertible Notes, the “SEACOR Holdings Convertible Notes”) entitled to in the spin-off?

A:

Holders of the SEACOR Holdings Convertible Notes are not entitled to participate in the spin-off solely by virtue of their holding these notes. Such holders will participate only if they have exercised their conversion rights under their notes and received SEACOR Holdings common stock prior to the record date for the spin-off. If holders of the SEACOR Holdings Convertible Notes have exercised their conversion rights and received SEACOR Holdings common stock prior to the record date for the spin-off, they will be entitled to participate in the spin-off in the same manner as any other holder of SEACOR Holdings common stock. For a more detailed description, see “The Spin-Off.”

Q:	What is being distributed in the spin-off?

A:	Approximately 17.7 million shares of our common stock will be distributed in the spin-off. The shares of our common stock to be distributed by SEACOR Holdings will constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock immediately prior to the distribution. For more information on the shares being distributed in the spin-off, see “Description of Our Capital Stock–Common Stock.”

Q:	On what date did the SEACOR Holdings board of directors approve the spin-off and declare the spin-off dividend?

A:	The SEACOR Holdings board of directors approved the spin-off and declared the spin-off dividend on , 2017.

Q:	What is the record date for the distribution?

A:	Record ownership will be determined as of 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on , 2017, which we refer to as the record date.

---

Q:	When will the separation be completed?

A:

The distribution date for the distribution, which is the date on which we will distribute shares of SEACOR Marine common stock, is expected to be , 2017. The separation will be completed pursuant to the terms of a distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) between SEACOR Holdings and SEACOR Marine. We expect that it will take the distribution agent, acting on behalf of SEACOR Holdings, up to ten days after the distribution date to fully distribute the shares of SEACOR Marine common stock to SEACOR Holdings stockholders, which will be accomplished in book-entry form. However, your ability to trade our common stock received in the distribution will not be affected during this time. It is also possible that factors outside our control, or a decision by SEACOR Holdings to terminate the Distribution Agreement pursuant to its terms, could require us to complete the separation at a later time or not at all. See “The Spin-Off.”

Q:	What do I have to do to participate in the distribution?

A:

No action will be required of SEACOR Holdings stockholders to receive shares of SEACOR Marine common stock, which means that (i) SEACOR Holdings is not seeking, and you are not being asked to send, a proxy, (ii) you will not be required to pay for the shares of SEACOR Marine common stock that you receive in the separation, and (iii) you do not need to surrender or exchange any shares of SEACOR Holdings common stock in order to receive shares of SEACOR Marine common stock or take any other action in connection with the distribution.

Q:	Does the SEACOR Holdings board of directors have the ability to amend, modify or abandon the distribution?

A:	Yes. The SEACOR Holdings board of directors has reserved the right, in its sole discretion, to amend, modify or abandon the distribution at any time prior to the distribution. If the terms of the spin-off are modified materially after the date of this Information Statement, we will promptly file a Form 8-K with the Commission detailing the modified terms of the spin-off.

Q:	Will SEACOR Marine have a relationship with SEACOR Holdings following the spin-off?

A:

In connection with the spin-off, we will enter into the Distribution Agreement and other agreements with SEACOR Holdings that will govern the relationship between us and SEACOR Holdings after the completion of the spin-off. The Distribution Agreement, in particular, will set forth our agreement with SEACOR Holdings regarding the principal transactions necessary to separate us from SEACOR Holdings. The Distribution Agreement will provide that on the distribution date, SEACOR Holdings will distribute to its stockholders, for every share of SEACOR Holdings common stock held by SEACOR Holdings stockholders, one share of our common stock multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is 17,671,356 and the denominator of which is the number of shares of SEACOR Holdings’ common stock outstanding at the time of the spin-off (as of April 24, 2017 , there were 17,550,658 shares of SEACOR Holdings common stock outstanding); or 1.007 shares per share of SEACOR Holdings Common Stock, assuming the Distribution Date was April 24, 2017 . SEACOR Holdings will distribute all shares of SEACOR Marine common stock in the distribution. See “The Spin-Off” for more information. It will also provide, among other things, (i) that we and SEACOR Holdings use commercially reasonable efforts to cause SEACOR Holdings to be released from any guarantees it has given to third-parties on our behalf, (ii) for the payment by us to SEACOR Holdings of a fee of 0.5% per annum of the amount of the obligation in respect of guarantees provided by SEACOR Holdings on our behalf that are not released prior to the spin-off, (iii) for the indemnification of SEACOR Holdings for payments made under any guarantees provided by SEACOR Holdings on our behalf to third-parties that are not released prior to the spin-off and (iv) for broad releases pursuant to which we will release SEACOR Holdings and its affiliates and indemnify and hold them harmless against any claims that arise out of or relate to the spin-off or the management of our business and affairs prior to the distribution date.

---

Q:	How will SEACOR Holdings equity awards be affected as a result of the spin-off?

A:	In connection with the spin-off, we currently expect that, subject to approval of the SEACOR Holdings board of directors, SEACOR Holdings outstanding equity-based compensation awards will generally be treated as follows:

Q:	Will the SEACOR Marine common stock be listed on a stock exchange?

A:

Although there is currently not a public market for our common stock, we have applied to list our common stock on the NYSE under the symbol “SMHI.” It is anticipated that trading of our common stock will commence on a “when-issued” basis on or shortly prior to the record date for the distribution. “When-issued” trading refers to a sale or purchase made conditionally because the security has been authorized but not yet issued. “When-issued” trades generally settle within four trading days after the distribution date. On the first trading day following the distribution date, “when-issued” trading with respect to our common stock will end and “regular-way” trading will begin. “Regular-way” trading refers to trading after a security has been issued and typically involves a transaction that settles on the third full trading day following the date of the transaction.

---

Q:	Will the distribution affect the trading price of my SEACOR Holdings common stock?

A:

Yes, the trading price of SEACOR Holdings common stock immediately following the distribution is expected to change because its trading price will no longer reflect the value of SEACOR Marine. However, we cannot provide you with any guarantees as to the price at which the SEACOR Holdings common stock will trade following the distribution. We also cannot assure you that following the spin-off the aggregate value of our common stock and SEACOR Holdings common stock will ever equal or exceed the pre-spin-off value of SEACOR Holdings common stock. For a more detailed discussion, see “Risk Factors–Risks Related to Our Common Stock.”

Q:	What indebtedness will SEACOR Marine have following the spin-off?

A:

Upon consummation of the spin-off, SEACOR Marine’s indebtedness will consist of $175.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due December 1, 2022 (the “3.75% Convertible Senior Notes”) as well as various secured equipment financing notes and borrowings under a secured credit facility supporting our wind farm utility vessels. For additional information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations–Liquidity and Capital Resources–Indebtedness.”

Q:	Do I have appraisal rights in connection with the separation?

A:	No.

Q:	Who is the transfer agent for SEACOR Marine shares?

A:	American Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

Q:	Are there any risks in connection with the separation that I should consider?

A:	Yes. There are certain risks associated with the separation. These risk factors are discussed in more detail in the section titled “Risk Factors.”

Q:	Where can I get more information?

A:	If you have any questions relating to the mechanics of the distribution, you should contact the distribution agent at:

Respective Management Teams Better Able to Focus on Business Operations. The separation will enable the management of each company to devote its time and attention to the development and implementation of corporate strategies and policies that are tailored to their respective businesses. Management’s strategies will be based on the specific business characteristics of the respective companies, without the need to consider the effects those decisions may have on the other businesses. SEACOR Holdings management spends significant time determining strategic, financial and operational requirements of each business, and how the company’s defined pool of capital will be allocated among its businesses. SEACOR Holdings board of directors believes that the spin-off will allow each management team to focus on its respective priorities, increasing SEACOR Holdings’ and SEACOR Marine’s efficiency, productivity and leadership satisfaction.

•

Improved Management Incentive Tools. We expect to use equity-based incentive awards to compensate current and future employees. SEACOR Holdings believes that future compensation of our employees in the form of SEACOR Holdings equity does not serve the desired purpose of incentivizing our employees to maximize our profits because the relative performance and size of SEACOR Holdings’ other businesses would have a significant impact on the value of SEACOR Holdings equity-based compensation issued to our employees. Following the spin-off, appreciation in the value of shares underlying our equity-based awards granted to our employees will no longer be impacted by the performance of SEACOR Holdings’ other businesses. Rather, equity-based incentive awards granted to our employees will be tied directly to our performance, providing employees with incentives more closely linked to the achievement of our specific performance objectives. This will better align our employee interests with the interests of our stockholders. Certain members of our senior management have expressed a strong preference for receiving equity compensation tied solely to our performance. We believe that offering equity compensation tied directly to our performance will assist in attracting and retaining qualified personnel.

•

Enhanced Strategic and Operational Capabilities. Following the spin-off, SEACOR Holdings and SEACOR Marine will each have a more focused business and be better able to dedicate financial, managerial and other resources to leverage their respective areas of strength and differentiation. Each company will pursue appropriate growth opportunities and execute strategic plans best suited to address the distinct market trends and opportunities for its business. SEACOR Holdings has a defined pool of capital with which to develop its businesses and pursue new projects. Separating SEACOR Marine will allow each business to make independent investment decisions based on its unique strategy and opportunities. We plan to focus on leveraging its strong liquidity, balance sheet and operational expertise to strategically grow through asset acquisitions. Without needing to compete with capital allocation needs of the other SEACOR Holdings businesses, we can opportunistically acquire offshore assets at attractive valuations, basing any investment decision solely on our independent long-term growth strategy.

The holding period for the shareholder’s SEACOR Holdings common stock would not be affected by the fact that the distribution was taxable.
