Tell me Schaeffer and Silvetti haven't done business before.....

That's precisely what we need to find, IMO.

That's why I posted the names of the boats Superior owned.............just maybe looking at ownership history might get us somewhere?

This was only a few months before they left.Sure it doesn't mean much.

Dang, too bad I had to be away for a while.  I have a bunch of links saved in it's own folder in my Favorites for Schaefer & Silvetti.

This one gives an idea when some of the boats were purchased by Superior Offshore:

Superior Offshore International LLC, offshore services industry, specialized in commercial diving and salvage. Superior Offshore International is celebrating 20 years in the offshore services industry. Louis Schaefer Jr., owner and president, began the company as Superior Offshore Services which specialized in commercial diving and salvage. Highly regarded in the Gulf Coast oil and gas industry, Louis recognized the need for more “diver-friendly” products and began to develop new underwater technologies and diving techniques. As a result, Louis began a sister-company, named Superior Diving Company in1995. Superior Diving Company expanded its offshore services through the acquisition of two new service vessels by purchasing the Gulf Diver III, a 165 ft, 30-ton capable, multiple-purpose vessel. In 2005, Superior Diving purchased the Superior Endeavour, a 265 ft, DPII classed ship. In December 2005, Superior Offshore Services and Superior Diving Company were unified under its new name, Superior Offshore International to better reflect both company’s expanded core capabilities and customer base. Superior Offshore International will continue to strive to become the industry leader in the worldwide energy industry. Superior Offshore International is scheduled to expand its offshore service fleet in 2006 through the acquisition of the Gulf Diver IV and the Gulf Diver V.

Costs Wave Rocks Superior Offshore
18 May 2007


US deep-water construction and subsea services group Superior Offshore saw first quarter earnings fall as it was forced to shell out on vessel charters and equipment rentals due to the drydocking for maintenance of the Superior Endeavour.

The company managed to boost its revenue during the period by providing services using third-party equipment, but the gains were offset by higher rental, labour and insurance costs.

Superior also said its available vessels saw lower utilisation rates than in the year-ago period, when customers paid higher rates to engage vessels to repair damage in the wake of hurricanes Kathrina and Rita.

The company said its first quarter was usually a low-activity period due to harsh weather in the Gulf of Mexico.

Superior reported net earnings of $6.2m, or 42¢ a share, compared with $11.9m, or 80¢ a share, in the first quarter of 2005.

Revenues for the period rose to $54.3m from $49.4m previously.

The company saw income from operations fall to $9m from $18.7m previously as costs rose.

The company said it was also working to expand its operations internationally after winning a contract to provide services to a major project off Trinidad, starting in mid-June.

Magnolia ... I spilled V8 juice on my sweater.

I hand-washed it and ... towel-dried it.  However ... it is still damp.  Can you quickly knit me another one so I can alternate.  Maybe this one could a 3/4 length Indian (Native PC) coat sweater.  The colors would go so good with a couple of brown pants that I enjoy wearing.

I think that Tim Trahan is a connection to both Silvetti and
Schaefer to CalDive.  I don't think Trahan is such a common name.

Janet, I would be happy to do so......lickty split.
I have finished San's hat.

You can wash your first one in the washer in cold water.
Then fold a towel and put it over a hanger and fold the sweater
and put over the towel and hang over a heat vent.  Turn
the sweater over the next day.

Aruba is ordering the closure of the Dutch liason office.


this office is used by the Dutch secret service and navy to keep an eye on Venezuela.

but Aruba suspect it's also used for espionage on Aruba itself.

http://www.amigoe.com/artman/publish/artikel_52435.php

more fall-out from the 'espionage-row' between Aruba and The Netherlands:

several Dutch members of parliament are asking the state secretary and the justice minister question.

state secretary Bijleveld will answer these questions on Monday and she already started an investigation into the leaking of the internal report.

Thanks caesu, can they do that?

You getting this all Johan?

[Blue Moon]

surprise... (not)

Hans Mos is leaving Aruba this summer

highest boss at the Dutch OM Hans Brouwer, offered him two positions in The Netherlands.
it is certain the Mos will accept one postition.

http://www.depers.nl/binnenland/283362/Hoofdofficier-Mos-weg-bij-OM-Aruba.html

so then another chief public prosecutor will come to Aruba.
and the whole dog and pony show can start all over again... 

No, I don't believe it will all start over again.  Mos was sent to shut this case down and he will do that before he leaves.  That is what Aruba dictates at this point.
