SEACOR Holdings, based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, provides equipment and services to the offshore petroleum industry and the marine transportation industry.[1] An American corporation, the company holds a 70% ownership stake in a bioethanol plant located in Illinois.[2]

SEACOR is a longstanding family enterprise encompassing a broad spectrum of maritime activities within North America. Its portfolio spans sectors including Jones Act shipping, U.S. and international towing, inland tug and barge operations, military logistics, disaster response, Caribbean breakbulk services, and additional ventures facilitated through joint venture partnerships. Additionally, SEACOR has entered and exited sectors such as offshore drilling, OSV (Offshore Support Vessel) operations, helicopter services, spill response, and other related domains.[3][4]

Within its Offshore Marine Services division, Seacor provides towing and support services, including anchor handling tugs, on a global scale, primarily serving the oil industry. Its subsidiary, SCF Marine, operates in inland shipping within the United States, as well as along the Río Paraná and Río Magdalena in South America. In the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, Seacor Ocean Transport conducts its operations.

Seacor Holdings collaborates with the railroad company Genesee and Wyoming in a 50:50 joint venture, operating the CG Railway. Since the year 2000, this railway has facilitated rail ferry services from Mobile, Alabama, to Coatzacoalcos, Mexico.[5][6]
