SEACOR Holdings Businesses Engage in Hurricane Response and Relief Efforts
October 17 2017 - 08:03PM
SEACOR Holdings (SEACOR) (NYSE:CKH) today announced that three of
its entities have been awarded contracts to help expedite Puerto
Rico’s recovery from the recent hurricanes.
Eric Fabrikant, Chief Operating Officer, commented,
“We are pleased that our assets and operational expertise can
contribute to solving logistics problems in Puerto Rico.”
Fabrikant continued, “Our shipping group’s SEA-CHEM
1 vessel has been on station in San Juan for 15 days delivering
diesel oil directly into trucks which ferry the fuel to critical
care facilities, such as hospitals and dialysis centers. We
estimate it will take another 15 or 20 days to complete the
mission. Pumping oil directly from a tanker into trucks requires
planning and careful oversight. It is a much slower discharge
process than emptying into big shore tanks.”
“Our CLEANCOR joint venture is in the process of
assembling 21 tank-trailers which carry drinking water. They are
being loaded on vessels bound for Puerto Rico tomorrow. These units
carry 120,000 gallons of potable water, which will service local
communities. We were able to place these containers on our Trailer
Bridge affiliate’s regular weekly sailing to ensure prompt
delivery.”
In addition to the equipment provided by Seabulk
Tankers and CLEANCOR, the landing craft, Bahamas Express, part of
the SEACOR Island Lines fleet, will be supporting the Virgin
Islands recovery effort, delivering generators and supplies in hard
to access locations on the islands.
