Fort Lauderdale, Florida

May 2, 2013

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE—SEACOR Holdings Inc. (NYSE:CKH) (“SEACOR”) announced today that it has executed an agreement with Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (“HHI”), through a subsidiary of SEACOR Ocean Transport Inc., for the construction of two Liquefied Petroleum Gas tankers (Very Large Gas Carriers, otherwise known as VLGCs) with expected deliveries in 2014 with an option to purchase up to three additional VLGCs with delivery in 2015.  These vessels will be equipped to meet current and expected environmental and regulatory requirements and feature substantially improved performance and consumption due to a new hull design and the latest generation MAN B&W G-type engines. 

SEACOR anticipates that the new vessels will be managed by Dorian (Hellas) S.A. (“Dorian”) in a pool together with three VLGCs owned by affiliates of Dorian.  Dorian also has an option to acquire or co-invest in up to 50% of the vessels under contract and option with HHI.

Actual events or results are subject to significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors, including decreased demand and loss of revenues as a result of U.S. government implemented moratoriums directing operators to cease certain drilling activities and any extension of such moratoriums (the “Moratoriums”), weakening demand for the Company's services as a result of unplanned customer suspensions, cancellations, rate reductions or non-renewals of vessel charters or failures to finalize commitments to charter vessels in response to Moratoriums, increased government legislation and regulation of the Company's businesses could increase cost of operations, increased competition if the Jones Act is repealed, liability, legal fees and costs in connection with the provision of emergency response services, including the Company's involvement in response to the oil spill as a result of the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon in April 2010, decreased demand for the Company's services as a result of declines in the global economy, declines in valuations in the global financial markets and a lack of liquidity in the credit sectors, including,
