S&P rates Gulf Offshore Logistics, notes CCC+

Standard & Poor's said it assigned a preliminary CCC+ corporate credit rating to Gulf Offshore Logistics Holdings LLC.

The agency also said it assigned a preliminary CCC+ rating to its proposed $110 million senior secured notes due 2016 with a preliminary 3 recovery rating, indicating 50% to 70% expected recovery in a default.

The proceeds will be used to repay outstanding debt and to fund acquisitions and working capital.

The outlook is developing.

The ratings reflect the company's position as a participant in the highly cyclical and competitive offshore marine services segment of the oilfield services sector, small size and scale and limited geographic diversity, S&P said.

The ratings also reflect its younger-than-average fleet that permits the company to obtain higher day rates, long-term contracting of a majority of its fleet and minimal non-acquisition capital expenditure requirements, the agency said.
