ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources
     At March 31, 1995, the Company had $2.4 million in cash and cash
equivalents as compared to $3.0 million at December 31, 1994.




                                   6<PAGE>
<PAGE>7
     The Company has fulfilled final conditions for contracts with a
shipyard to construct two supply vessels at an anticipated cost of
$14.2 million each.  These vessels are planned for service in the
North Sea with delivery expected in the first quarter of 1996 for one
vessel and the fourth quarter of 1996 for the other.  The Company is
required to make interim construction payments of $5.0 million in 1995
and $0.8 million in 1996 representing approximately 20% of the vessel
cost.  Final payment is due upon delivery of each vessel.  In addition
the Company expects to receive a 9.5% subsidy, $1.5 million per
vessel, from the Norwegian government within twelve months of
delivery.  The Company anticipates financing the cost of these vessels
primarily through additional borrowings.  Approximately $11.6 million
is expected to be provided under a new bank loan and $11.0 million
through a combination of drawing on unused borrowing capacity and
increased borrowing capacity under an existing revolving credit
facility.
     During the period ended March 31, 1995, expenditures for
scheduled drydockings of vessels were $429,000 and for vessel upgrades
and modifications $534,000.  The latter is primarily attributable to
modifications required under a new two year contract for a vessel to
work in Brazil.  The Company estimates that capital and maintenance
expenditures, excluding any expenditures to acquire additional
vessels, will be approximately $1.7 million for the remainder of 1995,
of which $0.9 million is related to scheduled drydockings.  The
remainder primarily represents vessel upgrades and non-marine
expenditures which are not subject to firm commitments, and the
Company may modify its plans as appropriate.
     At March 31, 1995, the Company had outstanding long-term debt of
$28.4 million borrowed under various facilities.  These facilities are
secured by first preferred ship mortgages on ten of the Company's
vessels and assignments of such vessels' earnings. Interest on the
borrowings accrues at LIBOR plus 1 3/4% per annum.  Scheduled debt
repayments are expected to be $1.5 million in 1995.  The loan facility
agreements place certain restrictions on the ability of the
subsidiaries subject to these agreements to pay dividends.  Cash held
by these subsidiaries was $1,928,000 as of March 31, 1995. As of May
1, 1995, the Company could borrow up to $5.4 million under its short-
term credit facilities and $1.5 million under its long-term credit
facility without providing additional security to its lenders.  An
additional $4.6 million is available under a revolving credit facility
with the provision of further security either through vessel mortgages
or securing long-term charters or a combination thereof.  This
available credit is expected to be used in connection with the
building of the two new vessels discussed above.
     Substantially all of the Company's tax provision is for deferred
taxes.  As of December 31, 1994, the Company had net operating loss
carryforwards for tax purposes which are available to offset taxable

                                   7<PAGE>
<PAGE>8
income generated of $6,999,000 for United States tax purposes and of
$16,991,000 for United Kingdom tax purposes in future years. The
Company also has foreign tax credits of $512,000 and alternative
minimum tax credits of $292,000 available to offset taxable income
generated for United States tax purposes.
     The Company believes that current reserves of cash and short-term
investments, cash flows from operations and access to various credit
arrangements will provide sufficient resources to finance internal
operating requirements.  The Company continues, however, to actively
seek further investment opportunities.  Such investments may require
the expenditure of significant resources, either in cash, notes, stock
or a combination thereof.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Company incurred a loss before extraordinary item of $221,000
or $0.07 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 as compared to
income of $499,000 or $0.15 per share in the same period last year. 
Revenues for the quarter were $7,500,000 as compared to $8,047,000 for
the comparative prior year period. 
     Marine results were impacted by softer markets in both of its
primary operating regions.  In addition, anticipating a pickup in
market demand later in the year, the Company accelerated otherwise
required survey and drydock activity to the first quarter in order to
take full advantage of the improvements expected in the balance of the
year.  In Southeast Asia results were affected by the increased
offhire days caused by four of the eight vessels in the region being
in drydock including two of the region's most productive units. 
Charter rates in  the North Sea were particularly soft in January and
February, but began to firm significantly in March.  All of the North
Sea fleet is under charter until late 1995.  The market is continuing
to improve as drilling activity in the region has increased and oil
companies are beginning to experience difficulty finding suitable
supply vessels available for summer charter.
     Results for the quarter were further impacted by acceptance of a
two year contract for the Seapower with Petrobras, the state owned
Brazilian oil company, which required the vessel's removal from
service during the first quarter for modifications to substantially
upgrade the vessel for duties largely related to the carriage of bulk
material products. The vessel is in route to Brazil, and the benefit
of this two year contract will be reflected beginning mid-year.


                                       8<PAGE>

     The erosion control segment reported a loss for the 1995 first
quarter in contrast to the income for the 1994 first quarter, which
had been its highest in four years.  Despite an increase in revenues
for this segment, gross margins were down significantly from 31% for
the 1994 first quarter to 8% for the 1995 first quarter.  At Energy
Ventures, Inc., the Company's 20% owned affiliate, income, excluding
extraordinary items, nearly doubled with the Company reporting equity
in Energy Ventures' earnings of $368,000 for the 1995 first quarter as
compared to $192,000 for the 1994 first quarter.  Results for the
prior year period also included an extraordinary charge of $706,000 or
$0.21 per share attributable to Energy Ventures, which incurred a
penalty of $3.8 million, net of tax, from the prepayment of certain
debt.

CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS AND INFLATION

     A significant portion of the Company's operations are overseas,
therefore the Company is potentially exposed to currency fluctuations
and exchange risks.  Charters for vessels in the Company's North Sea
fleet are primarily denominated in British Pounds Sterling ("GBP") as
are substantially all the operating costs.  North Sea operations are
expected to account for approximately $6.5 million of cash flows from
operations in 1995.  Fluctuations in the GBP/Dollar exchange rate for
1995 thus far have been minimal as was also the case in 1994 with a
high of GBP=U.S.$1.64 to a low of GBP=U.S.$1.55 for the period from
January 1,, 1995 to May 1, 1995 for an average of GBP = $1.59 for the
period.  The Company hedged the effect on cash flows of these
fluctuations in the GBP/Dollar exchange rates through GBP denominated
borrowings which account for 89% or $25.4 million of total debt.  All
of the estimated $1.5 million in debt repayments for 1995 are
attributable to GBP denominated debt.
     Reflected in the accompanying balance sheet for March 31, 1995,
is a $(3,320,000) cumulative translation adjustment relating to the
lower GBP exchange rate as of March 31, 1995 and to the Company's
equity share of translation adjustments reported by Energy Ventures,
its equity investee.  Changes in the cumulative translation adjustment
are non-cash items.
     Where currency risks are high, as in Brazil, the Company has
generally accepted only a small percentage of charterhire in the local
currency and the remainder is paid in U.S. Dollars.  Under the two
year vessel charter for service in Brazil, the Company anticipates
that expenses in the local currency will approximate the portion of
charterhire paid in local currency.
