Thank you, West. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the second quarter of 2022 Tidewater earnings conference call. I'm pleased to say that the second quarter continued a pace of rapid improvement in the offshore vessel market, and more importantly, marked an inflection point in the market that we have been anticipating for some time now. We've talked about momentum building in the business. The second quarter marked the tipping point in vessel supply and demand dynamics, and it marked a significant step-up in our operational and financial results. I'll provide more color on some of our regions and vessel classes, but in short, the most important indicator in the strength of our business, day rate, increased by nearly $1,900 per day sequentially. With 172 working vessels, that's a big move for one quarter. You may recall that we've discussed an increase over an entire year during a typical upcycle, up about $1,500 per day. This sequential quarterly uplift is the most indicative signal as to the step change we're experiencing in the market today. During the second quarter, we closed on the acquisition of Swire Pacific Offshore, which you may hear us refer to as SPO. I'm pleased to say that the integration of the acquisition is going well, with some early successes realized, and that the SPO fleet contributed $43.2 million of revenue during the second quarter. Post-closing of the transaction and that it generated vessel-level cash margins in line with our consolidated vessel level cash margin of 38%. For the quarter, the legacy SPO G&A totaled approximately $3.9 million, which would be $5.2 million on a full quarter run rate. Total G&A burden per legacy SPO in 2021 was about $35 million. We are confident that we will achieve our targeted goal of $20 million in G&A synergies over the next nine months, and more broadly, we'll achieve total target synergies inclusive of both G&A and OpEx synergies of approximately $45 million over the next 12 months. Want to thank both the legacy SPO employees and our legacy Tidewater employees for all of the effort thus far in ensuring this acquisition and integration is a success. Turning back to the second quarter, revenue increased meaningfully in the second quarter, up 55% compared to this first quarter. Total revenue increased to $163.4 million in the second quarter compared to $105.7 million in the first quarter. Of course, that included the contribution from the acquired SPO vessels beginning in late April. Looking at this on a normalized basis, revenue per active vessel was up approximately 18% sequentially, while average day rate was up about 17% sequentially, with the increase in revenue almost fully attributed to the move in day rates. Vessel level cash margin expanded over 4% points to 38.2%, nicely in excess of the 30% target we've talked about in recent quarters, and up nearly 11% points from the second quarter of last year. Looking across the world at our various regions, we experienced broad-based momentum in all of our operating regions. My intention is to stay with a per vessel view of the business to eliminate any distortions from the absolute impact of the SPO acquisition, but Sam will give more detail on the absolute changes in his commentary. Our fleet in Europe, Mediterranean led the way with a 30% sequential improvement in day rates, with significant improvements across the U.K., Norway and Egypt. The second quarter is usually one of the seasonally strong quarters in this segment, particularly in North Sea, given the nicer weather in the spring and early summer. Vessel level cash margin improved considerably during the quarter, up 14% points sequentially to nearly 41% and up nearly 20% points since recent lows at the end of 2021. Utilization slipped modestly sequentially, which is more a reflection on our decision to stay in the spot market rather than any weakness in the market itself. The spot market has more frictional unemployment, and you try to more than offset that with quicker day rate increases. We've opted to enter the spot market a bit more aggressively than in prior periods, given the relative strength of the market, which can be seen in the day rate achieved and the associated margin expansion. Additionally, we had one more vessel on average working during the quarter. West Africa continued to show strong momentum during the quarter. As you may recall, we essentially doubled the size of our OSV fleet in Africa via the SPO acquisition. Day rates improved 21% sequentially to about $10,700 per day, well in excess of anything we've seen in recent memory. Vessel level operating margin modestly improved to 42% sequentially, as this region was the largest recipient of the new SPO vessels and their existing cost structure. Given the scale of operations from the legacy SPO fleet in West Africa, much of the OpEx synergy achievements we have targeted will ultimately accrue to this region and help support continued margin expansion. Average active utilization continued to move up nearly 4% points to 83% in the second quarter. The legacy SPO fleet was consistently highly utilized, speaking to the quality of the vessels in that fleet, and we expect to continue to drive utilization and margin expansion with the expected OpEx synergies in the region. Turning to our Middle East region, I first wanna point out that this segment has historically been titled Middle East and Asia Pacific and was inclusive of a limited number of vessels we had operating in Asia Pacific prior to the acquisition of SPO. Given the sizable presence in the acquisition brings to Tidewater in Asia Pacific, we made the decision to split the Middle East into its own segment and established Asia Pacific as a new distinct segment due to the relative scale of the two regional businesses and to provide additional disclosure on the two sizable discrete markets. Turning to the quarter, perhaps one of the most interesting signals as it relates to global tightness in the supply vessel market is the pricing improvements we saw in the Middle East this quarter. Historically, the Middle East market has proven a consistent market in which to work a large number of low to medium specification vessels, but generally somewhat challenging to realize day rate increases given the relative oversupply of this specification of vessels. However, during the second quarter, average day rate improved by 16% to about $9,500 per day, a meaningfully higher day rate average compared to what we've seen in the past several years. Vessel cash margin approached 30%, up almost 4%, and well in excess of anything we've seen in recent memory. Turning to the Americas segment, average day rate improved about 7% sequentially, although there was some regional mix that obscures the improvements during the quarter in some of the more interesting markets within that segment. The Caribbean portion of the Americas continued to show significant momentum, with average day rate up about 25% sequentially. The average day rates in Mexico, which at times shares some similar characteristics with the Middle East market in that it is a relatively small vessel market with a dominant state-owned customer, saw a nearly double-digit percentage increase. The U.S. Gulf of Mexico was roughly flat due to the limited number of vessels we have in the area. While the average day rate improvement for the Americas segment was somewhat modest on a relative basis, the operating leverage inherent in all of our businesses began to manifest itself in this segment during the second quarter. Utilization improved by nearly 11% points. In addition to the day rate increase, we increased revenue by about $9 million sequentially, $6.5 million of which dropped to vessel cash margin, which was up 9% points sequentially to 43%, nearly double from the year-ago quarter. Lastly, I'd like to turn to our new Asia Pacific segment. About 30% of the legacy SPO fleet was comprised of vessels in the Asia Pacific geography, principally working in Southeast Asia and Australia. At the end of the quarter, 17 vessels were active in the Asia Pacific region. The financial results are somewhat difficult to compare at this time on a sequential basis, given the sizable increase in the vessels and the mix of the vessels in this broad region. However, we are pleased to enhance our presence in this region and believe that the momentum we're seeing in all of our other regions is similarly building in this region. This region has a long-term opportunity, not just in traditional hydrocarbon activity, but in the rapidly advancing offshore wind market. Our G&A costs during the quarter totaled $27.8 million, which includes $7.3 million in professional fees and other transaction-related expenses associated with the SPO acquisition, along with the $3.9 million of SPO's related G&A expense I referred to earlier. Excluding fees and expenses associated with the transaction, G&A came in right about $20.5 million for the quarter. This compares to a pre-acquisition normalized G&A of $17 million in the first quarter. We continue to expect the G&A burden associated with the added vessels and the new regional office in Singapore via the SPO acquisition to level out next year at about $2.5 million per quarter. Free cash flow for the quarter was - $14.9 million. As we mentioned on the prior two calls, we anticipated free cash flow in the first half of 2022 to be weighed down by a significant dry dock expense and vessel reactivations during the first half, of which we spent approximately $33 million during the first half of 2022. Including the newly acquired vessels, we expect to spend about $21 million in dry dock expense in the second half of 2022. We experienced a continuation of working capital build during the second quarter, part of which was the natural working capital build you'd expect to see in a quarter with significant revenue growth and a sizable acquisition. We also continue to have customers delay payments, contributing to about $15 million of the working capital build. We anticipate collections picking up in the third quarter, and as we indicated on last quarter's call, we expect DSO to normalize by the end of the year. We remain confident that market conditions will result in our entire fleet working by the end of 2022. A combination of reactivations and disposing of non-core vessels. We made additional progress during the second quarter in disposing of vessels available for sale, disposing of four vessels for total proceeds of $3.5 million. We ended the quarter with nine vessels remaining in the held-for-sale category, which includes one SPO vessel added as part of the acquisition. Vessel lay-up costs of $700,000 in the second quarter, down by about half quarter-over-quarter, and costs associated with COVID-19 also continued to fall, down to $800,000 in the second quarter. In summary, we are very pleased with the second quarter results. We believe that the remainder of 2022 will continue to be strong with another leg up in demand moving into 2023 in what has become an increasingly supply vessel constrained environment. With that, let me turn the call over to Piers for an overview of the global market and the company's performance within it. Thank you, Quintin, and good morning, everyone. Last quarter, we talked about some of the supply issues we're seeing that are affecting the global OSV market today, and why with our modern larger fleet of PSVs and AHTSs, we are well-placed to take advantage of this continuing upturn in the market. These larger vessel classes are where we believe the supply-demand balance is almost in parity. Of those vessels that are still stacked, they have been for over five years and/or are over 20 years old, and in our view, will find it difficult, if not impossible, to come back into the market, especially as we're still seeing limited dry docking space globally and significant long lead times for major equipment items, which we believe will further exacerbate the already tight supply-demand balance in these larger vessel classes. This quarter, I would like to focus more on the demand side globally and how that is affecting OSV day rates for the first half of 2022. Overall, the market remains very positive. In total, we see full-year projected CapEx commitments for 2022 of $86 billion, which is up around 20% on the full-year average, which bodes well for future years. Rig demand continues to improve, with utilization levels across the floaters and jackups almost touching 85% levels and term day rates for ultra-deep water units almost at $450,000 per day, all of which drive the basic fundamentals of the OSV space and parlays nicely into our own fleet. Specifically on the OSV side, we start to see the increase in demand and shortness in supply impact rates positively on the upside. With Clarksons Research reporting global one-year time charter rates for the largest PSVs at $22,000 per day levels compared to $15,000 per day levels in 2021. One-year time charter rates for large AHTSs averaging circa $31,000 per day compared to $23,000 per day in 2021. All very positive indicators that the market is pushing rates in the right direction. Working through our various regions and starting with Europe, we've seen a very strong rebound in the North Sea and Mediterranean markets, with a significant uptick in demand. Even previously mothballed projects like Jackdaw in the North Sea being greenlit by Shell and the U.K. government, which again bodes well for the future of the region. The large AHTS market in the North Sea hit record high spot rates of GBP 173,750 per day during June, as supply for larger AHTSs remained tight. Our own recently reactivated large AHTS was able to also take advantage of this tightness in the North Sea market. In the European market, which includes the Med, where the majority of the fleet are PSVs, we were able to push rates for new contracts awarded in Q2 2022 across all sizes of assets in the region by nearly 40% compared to Q1 2022, to an average new leading day rate in excess of $17,000 per day across all vessel classes, which compares favorably to the Clarksons Global OSV Rate Index, which saw only an 18% rise in the first half of 2022. Moving to Africa, which is now our biggest region with the acquisition of Swire, we again are seeing rising demand across the whole continent, but with particular focus in Angola, Congo, and Senegal, and with the added expectation of significant increase in the floating rig count in the region by the end of 2023. Across the whole continent, we have a good cross-section of vessel classes from our largest 16,000 BHP+ anchor handlers to our smallest crew boats. The region is a good indicator of where we see rates going globally for all of our vessel classes. The good news is that for new contracts awarded in Q2 across the whole fleet, we were able to again push rates by circa 84% compared to Q1, with average new leading day rates in excess of $21,000 per day. In the Middle East, Aramco remains the dominant player in the region, as well as one of our key customers. We are also seeing an uptick in tendering activity in Qatar as the region races to bring more production on stream. Aramco has been very public about bringing significantly more jackups into the kingdom and in turn came out for a large 20+ OSV tender in Q2 to support this uptick in activity. All of which will not only tighten supply on the smaller vessel classes, but will create an opportunity to continue to push rates and margin in the area. Most of our fleets in the region are on the smaller AHTS and PSV classes, but we were still able to push rates for new contracts across the fleet nearly 60% compared to last quarter. In the Americas, we saw continued high demand in Brazil in Q2, driven by Petrobras, and expect this to continue throughout the year. While we currently have a small footprint in the country, their requirement for larger bollard pull AHTS and larger 900 sq m deck space PSVs sucks up supply elsewhere in the globe, helping to tighten the larger vessel class market globally. In Mexico, we're starting to see Pemex starting to ramp up. We expect them to be a few quarters away from really getting going. In the U.S., Guyana, and Suriname, we continue to see very strong demand for rigs and vessels, both in the first half of the year and going forward. Most of our America's fleet is PSVs, and we were able to push rates in Q2 for new contracts across the whole fleet by almost 50% compared to Q1 2022, to a blended average new leading day rate of nearly $18,000 per day. Please bear in mind that as we mentioned in our last quarterly call, that we have seen and continue to see charter rates for our large class of vessels in this region in the mid-30s to mid-40s range. Lastly, in Asia Pacific, Malaysia was one of the key drivers of demand in the region. However, we have started to see the whole region starting to play catch up in the latter half of Q2. With gas projects being sanctioned in Australia, new licensing rounds in Indonesia, and an uptick in new wind farm projects expected to come online in Taiwan, where we have a significant presence after the Swire acquisition. Similar to Africa, we have a good cross-section of the fleet operating in the region from the large 16,000 BHP class of AHTS and 900 sq m deck space PSVs, all the way down to the smaller 4,000 BHP-8,000 BHP class of AHTS. The market is probably a quarter or two behind other areas, but we are starting to see rate increases coming through on the larger vessel classes close to other regions. I expect Asia Pacific to be in line rate-wise with the rest of the world by end 2022. Overall, as mentioned by Quintin, we are very pleased with how the market has continued to move in the right direction in Q2, and we expect that positive momentum to continue into subsequent quarters. Lastly, we are really starting to see solid rate improvements across the whole fleet, with new contracts in Q2 averaging nearly 50% more than in Q1, 2022, or equivalent to a blended average rate of about $17,000 per day across the whole fleet. With that, I'll hand over to Sam. Thank you. Thank you, Piers, and good morning, everyone. Now, I would like to take you through our financial results and discuss some key points that make up these results. My discussion will focus primarily on quarter-over-quarter results comparing the second quarter of 2022 to the first quarter of 2022. As noted on our press release filed yesterday, we reported a net loss of $25.6 million or $0.61 per share. From an operational perspective, we showed meaningful revenue improvement quarter-over-quarter. Our revenue for the second quarter of 2022 was $163.4 million. This is $58 million or approximately 55% increase from the first quarter of 2022. The sequential revenue uplift benefited from the addition of the SPO vessels from April 22nd of this year, which contributed $43.2 million of revenue during the quarter. Utilization was roughly flat sequentially, with active utilization of 82.5%. However, day rates improved 17% to $12,544 per day in the second quarter of, from $10,687 per day in the first quarter. Overall, gross margin for Q2 increased nicely to 38%, up from 35% in Q1. Vessel operating cost for the quarter was $100.3 million, an increase of $31.7 million from Q1, principally driven by the addition of the SPO vessels. SPO vessel operating costs totaled $26.7 million for the remainder of the quarter post-closing of the transaction. Vessel operating costs per marketed day in Q2 was approximately $6,300 per day. That may increase some more in Q3 until we begin realizing our synergies beginning in the second half of this year and accelerating through the first half of next year. At which time, we would anticipate our operating costs per marketed day to decrease to close to 6,000 per day. We sold four vessels during the second quarter for net proceeds of $3.5 million and recorded a combined net loss of $1.3 million on the sale of these vessels. We generated operating income of $1.8 million for the quarter, an improvement of $9.2 million, driven by higher revenue and improved margin performance, mainly driven by the day rate increases. Included in operating income is a $1.3 million loss associated with asset dispositions. G&A costs for the quarter was $27.8 million, up about $9.6 million from Q1. G&A for the second quarter included $7.3 million of transaction expenses associated with the SPO acquisition. Q2 G&A costs was also burdened by about $3.9 million associated with the legacy SPO cost, which implies a full quarter run rate of $5.2 million, which is already well below our expectations of about $2.8 million per month. We have achieved some early synergy success and anticipate to realize the remainder of the G&A synergies over the next nine months or so. We expect our overall G&A run rate on a marketed day basis to eventually level out at around 1,300 per day once all transaction costs have been incurred and synergies have been realized. In the quarter, we incurred $18.5 million of deferred dry dock costs compared to $12.6 million in Q1. As expected, Q2 was a heavy dry dock quarter due to regularly scheduled dry docks and vessel reactivations, which also included a few vessels associated with the SPO fleet. In the quarter, 20 dry docks were in process, and we incurred 733 dry dock days compared to 547 in the first quarter, which negatively impacted our overall utilization by about 5% points. We expect to incur approximately $23 million to the remainder of the year, bringing the total to about $54 million for the full year 2022. In the quarter, we also incurred about $4.2 million in CapEx. We expect CapEx for 2022 to be about $13 million, including $2 million on SPO vessels, as we execute vessel modifications related to new contract requirements and and technology initiatives. Free cash flow was - $14.9 million this quarter, due primarily to the heavy dry dock spend and the build in working capital. As it relates to working capital, we had a natural buildup of AR driven by the sequential uplift in revenue. However, we did have some customers delay payments that contributed to about $15 million to the buildup in AR, pushing our DSO up beyond where we typically target. We anticipate DSO to normalize by the end of the year, when in combination with lower dry dock spend and continued financial improvement, should yield a meaningful improvement in free cash flow in Q3 and Q4. Also included in the $14.9 million were $4.2 million of legacy SPO tax payments. As we've discussed in the past, we maintain an ongoing dialogue with Pemex as it pertains to our outstanding AR. At the beginning of the quarter, we had about $13 million of AR outstanding with Pemex. During the quarter, Pemex commenced a unique bond offering focusing on reducing its trade accounts payable owed to its vendors. We exchanged $8.6 million of past due AR for a June 2029 8.75% bond priced at par. We expect to monetize this bond sometime in the second half of 2022, at which point we will realize the associated AR exchange. In Q4 2019, we began reclassifying vessels on our balance sheet from property and equipment to assets held for sale. We have since run 86 vessels through this program. At the end of Q1 2022, we had twelve vessels held for sale at a value of $8.6 million. During the second quarter, we sold four vessels for proceeds of $3.5 million and added one SPO vessel to the asset held for sale list, leaving our vessels held for sale at nine with a value of $6.9 million. In June, we amended the share purchase agreement with Swire to modify a provision that inadvertently created a derivative out of the Jones Act warrants, and we recognized a loss on a mark-to-market adjustment related to the warrants. The charge is a one-time non-cash charge totaling $14.2 million. I would now like to focus on the performance of the region. Our Americas region reported operating income of $5.9 million for the quarter compared to operating loss of $82,000 in Q1. The region reported revenue of $37.5 million in Q2 compared to $28.4 million in Q1. The region operated 29 vessels in the quarter, which was an increase of two from Q1, one of which was a result of the SPO acquisition. Active utilization for the quarter was 87%, which was up from 76% in the prior quarter. Additionally, day rates increased to $16,569 from $15,501 per day in Q1. The increase in operating income was due to an increase in revenue attributable to the increase in day rates, the increase in utilization, and the increase in operating vessels in the region. Turning to our new segment, Asia Pacific, I want to remind everyone that we've split our Asia Pacific region from the Middle East region into its own standalone segment and is no longer combined with the Middle East. For the second quarter, the Asia Pacific region reported an operating loss of $899 thousand compared to operating income of $2.2 million in Q1. The region reported revenue of $16.4 million in the second quarter, compared to $4.9 million in the prior quarter as a result of the additions of the SPO vessels in April. The region operated at 18 average vessels, which was up 13 vessels on average compared to Q1. Revenue and average vessels increased were principally influenced by the addition of the 16 SPO vessels in the region. Active utilization decreased by approximately 29% points to 70% in the quarter, compared to 99% in Q1, as we had a handful of vessels come off hire as contracts expired. 99% utilization is highly unusual, and it's simply that these vessels were all on term contracts. Having said that, day rates improved to $13,748 per day in Q2 compared to $10,975 per day in Q1. Operating income was impacted by the additions of the SPO vessels, which brought along the legacy cost structure and combined with expiration of the contracts. We anticipate the Asia Pacific region to be one of the beneficiaries of our targeted synergies moving forward. Turning to our Middle East region, similar to the Asia Pacific segment, Middle East is now its own standalone segment, no longer combined with Asia Pacific. The sequential comparisons I provide will pertain to the revised segment reporting. For the second quarter, the Middle East region reported an operating loss of $307,000, compared to an operating loss of $1.9 million in Q1. The region reported $28.4 million in the second quarter as compared to $20.2 million in the prior quarter. The region operated 41 vessels, which was up eight vessels compared to Q1. The increase in average active vessels is attributable to a relocation of vessels from our West Africa and Europe regions to the Middle East, along with the effect of the addition of seven vessels attributable to the SPO acquisitions. Active utilization decreased by approximately 3% points to 81% in the quarter compared to 84% in Q1, as this was one of the heavy dry dock regions. However, day rates improved meaningfully to $9,490 per day in Q2 compared to $8,160 per day in Q1. The improvement in operating income was due primarily to the increase in day rates and the addition of the SPO vessels, partially offset by lower utilization. Our Europe and Mediterranean region reported operating income of $4.3 million in Q2 compared to an operating loss of $2.4 million in Q1. We saw revenue increase to $32.5 million compared to $23.9 million in Q1. The region operated at 25 vessels in the quarter, which was an increase of one vessel from Q1 as we added one SPO vessel. Active utilization decreased slightly to 88.1% compared to 91.3% in Q1. We did see an uptick in day rates to $15,776 per day compared to $12,124 per day in Q1. The improvement in operating income for the quarter was mainly driven by the increase in revenue, driven by the increase in day rates. Our West African region reported operating income of $9.3 million in Q2 compared to operating income of $3.2 million in Q1. The market in this area has continued to improve as we've seen revenues increase steadily for six straight quarters. Revenue for Q2 was $47.4 million compared to $26.4 million in Q1. The region operated 17 more vessels on average in Q2, and active utilization increased to 82.9% in Q2 compared to 79.1% in Q1. Day rates increased significantly to $10,721 per day in Q2 from $8,834 per day in Q1. The increase in operating income from Q1 resulted from an increase in revenue, resulting from an increase in day rates and higher utilization, along with the effect of the addition of 25 vessels from the acquired SPO fleet. In summary, we are encouraged to see increase in revenue driven by the newly acquired SPO vessels and higher day rates, and we are encouraged to see the continuing positive signs in market activity. We anticipate both layup costs and COVID-related costs to continue to decrease through the remainder of 2022. We expect layup costs to cease by the end of 2022 and anticipate modest costs moving forward related to COVID-related issues. We are pleased with the Q2 results and are encouraged with the leading indicators we see for the remainder of 2022 and 2023. With that, I'll turn it back over to Quintin. Thank you, Sam. In closing, I would like to remark on what we see for the remainder of 2022 and into 2023. On last quarter's call, I expressed our confidence that the back half of 2022 would bring a meaningful uplift compared to the first half of the year. On the heels of a strong second quarter, our confidence in the second half of 2022 has not changed. We remain confident in the continued progression of day rates and utilization improvements throughout the remainder of the year. For the remainder of 2022, our revenue backlog stands at $327 million, representing fleet contracted coverage of approximately 77%. Contract coverage is fairly evenly split across all of our vessel classes, with our largest class of PSVs having the most exposure to the spot market opportunities. As we move into 2023, revenue backlog stands right at $400 million, representing fleet contracted coverage of approximately 52%. Our largest class of PSVs have current contract coverage in 2023 of about 50%, representing a considerable opportunity to continue to lever our largest class of vessels in a market environment currently experiencing substantial rate improvements. To put the strength of our day rate increase in perspective, during the second quarter, 24 of our vessels entered new contracts of various durations that will ultimately provide a nearly 50% aggregate uplift in day rates as compared to their previous aggregate contracted day rates. This compares to the 16 vessels that entered into new contracts during the first quarter that realized just over 20% of price improvements. While there are some mixed issues, it's worth noting that for our largest class of PSVs, pricing on new contracts entered into during the second quarter was in excess of 80% uplift as compared to their prior contracts. Candidly, the market is moving faster than we anticipated. With that, Chantelle, we will open it up for questions. At this time, I would like to remind everyone, in order to ask a question, please press star one. We'll pause for just a moment to compile a Q&A roster. Again, if you would like to ask a question, please press star one. Our first question comes from Hans Lund with Clarksons. Your line is open. Hi, thank you so much for taking my question. Just first question from my side, just to clarify, you said that the average day rate for the entire fleet was around $17,000 per day, while it says around $12,500 in the report. Can you just clarify those numbers? The rollover contracts. The contracts that rolled over during the quarter were just over $17,000, but their all-in rate for all of that. Okay. Perfect. Speaking of day rates, we've talked about this in the past. I mean, given this solid quarter, where can we kind of or do you have a view of where you expect to see the average day rates ending up at the end of 2022? We don't have a public view that we're going to express on that at this point. Clearly we're excited about the ramp-up that we're seeing. We definitely have exposure to turnover, you know, a large class of our vessels, especially the larger vessels, as we move into end of 2022 and into 2023. Okay. Thank you. Regarding your balance sheet with, in my opinion, fairly low leverage, and sound cash position, has your view changed on potentially adding more gearing to your balance sheet? How should you kind of up your cash position going forward? Or is paying out dividends more relevant now than it was before? Are you looking at investment opportunities? Can you kind of focus around that, please? Yeah, yeah, sure. You know, listen, I've made no bones about it. I believe businesses are made to build cash and return that cash to shareholders. As it relates to our, I agree with you. We are under-levered for a capital-intensive company. However, we are a capital-intensive company coming out of a severe contraction in our industry, and we are still preserving, you know, what we might call dry powder for additional accretive acquisitions, but also just making sure that we have the right liquidity until this industry is firmly established in more of a kind of mid to upcycle. Appreciate that we're under-leveraged. Look for reasons to deploy that capital into constructive acquisitions to the extent that that's appropriate for us strategically. Have no issue returning money to shareholders, and I'm excited about the opportunity to do that when the time is right. Cool. Thank you. That's it for me. Our next question comes from Patrick Fitzgerald with Baird. Your line is open. Hi. Thanks for taking the questions. Sure. I wanted to ask about, you know, how much will reactivations from competitors impact the kind of supply side for OSVs in, you know, going forward? I get that the spot market's tight right now, it sounds like, but, you know, is there a lot of spare capacity that can be reactivated relatively cheap that's gonna put a hindrance on how much day rates can go up in the future? Well, I'll give a start to answering the question, then I'm gonna hand it over to Piers to see if he's got any on-the-ground tactical perspective. You know, the economics are such that a vessel that's been laid up as long as the vessels that remain in layup today have been laid up mean that I think that it's very unlikely that any high-end vessel gets reactivated. We're definitely seeing reactivations on the low end, and that market was generally more oversupplied than the high-end boats. You know, when Piers was referencing a lot of tenders in the Middle East front, and those are generally low to medium spec vessels. We're starting to see, you know, those large tenders from Saudi Aramco and others absorbing vessels out of Asia, which have been in layup really since they delivered. That certainly will impact the market on those low-end vessels. Even though it will impact the market, we're still seeing reasonable day rate increases even on those low-end boats. Let me get it over to Piers and see if he wants to add anything. Yeah. Thanks, Quintin. No, I mean, I think, just to reiterate, on the larger sizes of our PSVs, the sort of 700 sq m+, size, you know, we see very single digits of vessels that possibly could come back into the market. That's similar for the large anchor handlers as well, for the sort of 16,000 BHP class as well. Really just to Quintin's point, yes, there is potential of some of the smaller classes coming back, but, you know, a lot of those vessels, when you really go into the numbers, which I don't do here, you know, those vessels have been stacked for five years. There's very long lead items to get parts and maintenance and things like that. You know, maybe some of them will come back, but it's gonna take time just with the supply crunch we're seeing in the market for just getting spares and reactivations in place anyway. It's not too much of a concern on the lower-end vessels either, and certainly not really one on the larger classes. Okay. You know, following the offshore rig industry, I see a lot of contracts that have been signed recently, but you know, these are rigs that are not actually working yet. I would expect the demand side to continue to improve. I mean, is that your expectation as well? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. I guess just kind of your thoughts on, I mean, if that's kind of the backdrop, you know, where could we see day rates in 2023? I agree with you on the demand side. You know, it just to encapsulate what I see happening on the demand side over the last couple of years, you know. What we saw in 2019 was an increase in oil price, which prompted people to catch up on maintenance. You know, the oil price starts moving up, people wanna start producing more. Their first reaction is to go out to their existing production facilities and fix things that perhaps have been broken for a while, and to get more barrels out of each of the individual units. We saw that beginning at the end of 2019. We saw it fall off considerably in the pandemic. We started to see that same dynamic come back at the end of 2021 and into the beginning of 2022. What we've really seen so far in our demand for vessels has been catching up on deferred maintenance and looking for ways to enhance production. The rigs that are now going back to work, as well as the offshore wind farms that are being constructed, are adding another layer of demand, and we're gonna see that go in 2023. I don't wanna speculate where rates are gonna go in 2023. I will tell you that in prior peak cycles, average day rates for the Tidewater fleet at the time was right about $20,000 a day. Okay? The fleet at that time was not as high graded as the fleet is today. We've done a lot of acquisitions with, you know, obviously through buying vessels, but we also did the GulfMark deal, we did the SPO deal. At the same time, we've been carving out the lower end of the boats and scrapping them or selling them into markets that we don't operate in. The fleet today is a much better and higher spec fleet on average than the Tidewater fleet was at the end of the last cycles, right? Call it the 2006- 2008, kind of 2012-2014, that timeframe. Okay. I would suspect that we would see day rates in excess of those peak day rates, right, in this coming cycle. I don't see anything to your earlier question, that I believe in the next three years will add considerable supply to the market. There's not enough boats to reactivate. There's not enough people to crew the boats. There's not enough parts to reactivate the boats. The new build economics still are not there to justify a new build. Over the next three years, I see this to be a vessel-constrained market, which will continue to push up day rates. Then there's the inflation element. You know, that's a little bit on both the cost side and the revenue side, but you know, and the inflation element is real, and we have to push that through on pricing as well. That you know, those are some ways to triangulate where I think it's gonna go. At this point, we are continuing to watch the market, continuing to push rate as aggressively as we can. We'll look forward to updating you in the next several quarters as to where it goes. Great. Thanks. You know, you provide a lot of numbers, but just, kind of just for clarification, what's like a good run rate G&A per quarter once synergies are realized? Yeah. Probably, Patrick, I would see about $20 million per day per quarter. $20 million per quarter. I'm sorry, $20 million. Yeah. Okay. Thanks a lot. We have reached the end of the question and answer session. I'll now turn the call back over to Quintin Kneen, CEO, for closing remarks. All right. Well, thank you, Chantelle, and we look forward to updating everybody again in November. Goodbye. This concludes today's conference call. You may now disconnect.
