Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Cal Dive International, a defunct marine contractor for the offshore oil and gas industry, faced ethical scrutiny due to its core business. Its operations, supporting fossil fuel extraction, inherently conflicted with planet-friendly practices, contributing to pollution and climate change, and were associated with potential oil spills and habitat disruption. Worker safety was also a concern; reports suggest an incident on the HELIX Q-4000 vessel resulted in a worker injury, where a Job Safety Analysis allegedly identified a hazard for installation but not removal. The company filed for bankruptcy in 2017, with its assets subsequently sold.
