Commitments And Contingencies And Other Matters

Note 17 — Commitments and Contingencies and Other Matters

Commitments

We have long-term charter agreements with Siem Offshore AS (“Siem”) for the Siem Helix 1 and Siem Helix 2 vessels, which are currently used in connection with our contracts with Petrobras to perform well intervention work offshore Brazil. The initial term of the charter agreements with Siem is for seven years, with options to extend. The Siem Helix 1 charter expires June 2023 and the Siem Helix 2 charter expires February 2024. We have time charter agreements for the Grand Canyon II and Grand Canyon III vessels for use in our robotics operations. The expiration date of the Grand Canyon II charter was extended in February 2021 from April 2021 until December 2021, with an option to renew. The Grand Canyon III charter expires May 2023.

We took delivery of the Q7000 in November 2019, and the vessel commenced operations in January 2020. With the delivery of the Q7000, all of our planned major capital commitments have been completed.

Contingencies and Claims

We believe that there are currently no contingencies that would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Litigation

We are involved in various legal proceedings, some involving claims for personal injury under the General Maritime Laws of the United States and the Jones Act. In addition, from time to time we receive other claims, such as contract and employment-related disputes, in the normal course of business.
