Exhibit 99.1 SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. (NYSE: SMHI) 29th Annual Pareto Securities Energy Conference John Gellert President & Chief Executive Officer 15 September 2022
Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements discussed in this release as well as in other reports, materials and oral statements that SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. (“SEACOR Marine” or the “Company”) releases from time to time to the public constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Generally, words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “believe,” “plan,” “target,” “forecast” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward- looking statements. Such forward-looking statements concern management's expectations, strategic objectives, business prospects, anticipated economic performance and financial condition and other similar matters. Forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and subject to a variety of assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or expected by the management of the Company. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual events or results may differ significantly from these statements. Actual events or results are subject to significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control. It should be understood that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, the preceding should not be considered to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties. Given these risk factors, investors and analysts should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the document in which they are made. The Company disclaims any obligation or undertaking to provide any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in the Company's expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which the forward-looking statement is based, except as required by law. It is advisable, however, to consult any further disclosures the Company makes on related subjects in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K (if any). These statements constitute the Company's cautionary statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Direct Vessel Profit (defined as operating revenues less operating costs and expenses, “DVP”) when applied to individual vessels, fleet categories or the combined fleet. DVP is a critical financial measure used by the Company to analyze and compare the operating performance of its individual vessels, fleet categories, regions and combined fleet, without regard to financing decisions (depreciation for owned vessels vs. leased-in expense for leased-in vessels). DVP is also useful when comparing the Company’s fleet performance against those of our competitors who may have differing fleet financing structures. DVP has material limitations as an analytical tool in that it does not reflect all of the costs associated with the ownership and operation of our fleet, and it should not be considered in isolation or used as a substitute for our results as reported under GAAP. seacormarine.com 2

Market Update
OSV Market Conditions and Current Trends Strong Fundamentals ✓ High commodity prices generating significant cash flow for OSV customers ✓ Capex spending of public E&P companies remains restrained ✓ Limited additional supply of vessels: time in lay-up, technical specifications not meeting commercial requirements, age of vessels ✓ Shift away from Russia generally favors development of offshore areas: North Sea, Brazil, Gulf of Mexico, West Africa Inflation ✓ Labor availability and costs, spare parts Growing activity in offshore wind ✓ “Mature” market of North Sea plus planned developments in Asia and the U.S. Using new technologies to achieve “greener” operations ✓ Hybrid propulsion ✓ Dual fuel technologies seacormarine.com 16
Changes in the OSV Sector Industry contracting ✓ No new capital entering ✓ Insufficient operating returns to support / maintain current fleet Fewer owners ✓ No newbuilding orders for past several years and likely to continue operating fewer vessels Increased vessel specialization and technical sophistication ✓ Wider variety of work roles: personnel transport, offshore accommodation, walk-to-work, of higher subsea maintenance specification ✓ Longer distances of supply chains to deepwater fields changes logistics Growing requirements for local presence / registration ✓ Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Mexico seacormarine.com 17
