Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (OTCMKTS: HOSSQ) is a provider of marine support vessels and related services to the offshore energy industry. The company’s core offering centers on platform supply vessels (PSVs), offshore construction support vessels (CSVs) and other specialist vessels designed to transport equipment, supplies and personnel to and from offshore oil and gas installations. Hornbeck generates revenue primarily through time-charter and bareboat charter arrangements with exploration and production companies, offering flexible solutions to meet both deepwater and harsh-environment requirements.
Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Covington, Louisiana, Hornbeck Offshore has grown its fleet through a combination of vessel construction, acquisitions and strategic partnerships with shipyards. Its vessels feature dynamic positioning systems, large deck capacities and advanced accommodations, enabling support for subsea construction, well intervention and platform maintenance activities. The company also offers repair and maintenance services for its vessels, ensuring operational reliability and safety compliance in challenging offshore environments.
Hornbeck Offshore Services operates primarily in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, where it supports exploration and production clients in shallow and deepwater plays. Over time, the company has extended its presence into select international markets, including Latin America and parts of West Africa, leveraging its technical expertise and fleet versatility to secure contracts outside the domestic market. This geographic diversification helps Hornbeck manage exposure to regional drilling cycles and industry fluctuations.
Leadership at Hornbeck Offshore includes founder and Executive Chairman Paul D. Hornbeck Jr., who established the company with a focus on innovation in offshore logistics and vessel design. Under his guidance, Hornbeck built one of the industry’s youngest and most modern fleets. The company’s management team brings experience in marine operations, vessel construction and offshore project support, positioning Hornbeck Offshore Services to respond to evolving demands in the global energy sector.
