Hornbeck, supplier of offshore transport services, including supply vessels, tankers and barges, primarily to support offshore, said in an SEC filing: "During the first quarter of 2018, the company terminated the two contracts because of GIS's performance issues. In the lawsuit, GIS alleges claims for delay, hindrance, disruption and wrongful termination of the construction contracts and seeks various remedies." It added, "The company intends to vigorously defend GIS's claims, considers them to be without merit, and will respond to GIS's lawsuit in due course."
