FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - SEACOR Marine LLC (SEACOR Marine) christened its first CrewZer Class vessel, the SEACOR CHEETAH, in Galveston, Texas on Tuesday.

Joyce McCall, wife of nearly fifty years to offshore industry pioneer Norman McCall, acted as the vessel's sponsor in recognition of her life-long contribution to the McCall legacy.

The SEACOR CHEETAH was designed to provide customers a faster and more stable delivery platform than the industry standard. After examining various hull types, SEACOR chose the Catamaran's twin-hull design for its ability to reach top speeds in excess of 40 knots while increasing passenger comfort and safety.

The SEACOR CHEETAH enables logistics managers to establish efficient loop-style routes between high-traffic platforms and shore-base operations. Following an evaluation of several personnel transfer methods, SEACOR selected Reflex Marine to develop the 9-person FROG personnel transfer system. Built at Gulf Craft shipyard, the SEACOR CHEETAH is equipped with state-of-the-art electronics, communications and navigation systems. Its DP-2 rating, combined with its wide, stable work deck allows the vessel to hold station in weather conditions where other vessels simply could not work. "We believe the SEACOR CHEETAH represents a truly innovative addition to SEACOR's crewboat fleet and a culmination of a sustained period of pioneering development," remarked Robert Clemons, Vice President, SEACOR Marine.

"Today's Christening of the SEACOR CHEETAH is testimony to the tremendous success of the growth and modernization of our fleet, and I believe it is a positive reflection upon the men and women who make up the SEACOR Marine team across the globe."
