                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS



The Board of Directors and Stockholders
McDermott International, Inc.

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of McDermott
International, Inc. as of March 31, 1994 and 1993, and for each of the three
years in the period ended March 31, 1994, and have issued our report thereon
dated May 9, 1994 which contained an explanatory paragraph regarding estimated
future costs for non-employee products liability asbestos claims described in
Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.  Our audits also included the
financial statement schedules listed in the Index of Financial Statement
Schedules and Exhibits in this Form 10-K/A-1.  These schedules are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express
an opinion based on our audits.

In our opinion, the financial statement schedules referred to above, when
considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.  The
ultimate loss from non-employee products liability asbestos claims as explained
in our report on the basic financial statements may differ materially from the
amount provided in the financial statement schedules.

         (3)     "Compensation" means the base salary earned by a Participant
                 in respect of services with one or more Employers (regardless
                 of when such salary is actually paid), and awards determined
                 by the committee designated under the Company's Variable
                 Supplemental Compensation Plan are allocable to such
                 Participant (regardless of when such awards are actually
                 paid), but shall exclude all the other bonuses, any severance

                 Committee shall serve under the direction and at the pleasure
                 of the Board of Directors of the Company and shall be

                 engaging in any occupation for wage or profit.  A Participant
                 will not be considered disabled for purposes of the Plan, if
                 in the opinion of the Committee, the disability is a result

                          drugs or narcotics, except on the prescription of a
                          duly licensed physician or surgeon;

                 (d)      injury or disease sustained by the participant which

                 (e)      injury or disease sustained by the participant (other
                          than a loaned employee)  while working for anyone

                 The Committee before approving the disability of a Participant
                 hereunder shall require satisfactory proof, which may be
                 evidence satisfactory to the Committee that the Participant is
                 entitled to disability insurance benefits under the Social
                 Security Act or may be in the form of a certificate from a
                 duly licensed physician selected by the Committee, that the
                 Participant has become disabled as provided herein.  A
                 Participant will not be considered disabled for purposes of
                 the Plan until the date the Employer considers the Participant
                 to have been dropped from its employment rolls.

         (7)     "Employee" means any officer (other than a person acting only
                 as a director) of an Employer.


         (8)     "Employer" means, collectively or distributively as the
                 context may indicate, the Company and any Subsidiary or
                 Affiliated Company which has adopted this Plan in accordance
                 with Section 1.3 hereof.


         (9)     "Final Average Monthly Compensation" means the Participant's
                 average monthly rate of compensation for a thirty-six month
                 period which shall consist of the three years during which the
                 Participant's Compensation was highest during the last ten
                 years of the Participant's employment by an Employer prior to
                 retirement.  Such three years need not be consecutive.  Each
                 year shall consist of the twelve month period beginning on the
                 month and day equivalent to the month and day of retirement
                 and ending on the month and day equivalent to the day before
                 the





                                       4
<PAGE>   5
                 month and day of retirement.  The Participant's average
                 monthly rate of Compensation will be determined by dividing
                 the total Compensation attributable to such thirty-six month
                 period, as determined in accordance with rules established by
                 the Committee, by thirty-six.  Compensation attributable to a
                 particular year shall not include base salary earned (or
                 Variable Supplemental Compensation awards determined to be
                 paid) for periods prior to or following such year, regardless
                 of whether payment of such amounts occurs during such year.

         (10)    "Monthly Retirement Plan Offset" means:

                 (a)      If payment(s) under any other retirement or pension
                          plan(s) or similar fund(s) or program(s) (including
                          the Retirement and Restoration of Retirement Income
                          Plans of McDermott Incorporated and The Babcock &
                          Wilcox Company, and similar plans) maintained by the
                          Employers, any Subsidiary or Affiliated Company or
                          any other previous employer is made monthly for life
                          only, or monthly under a joint and survivor form of
                          payment or in monthly installments over a period
                          equal to or greater than ten (10) years, to the
                          Participant, or to his spouse or other joint
                          pensioner or beneficiary, the "Monthly Retirement
                          Plan Offset" shall be equal to such payments when and
                          as they are made; or

                 (b)      If payment(s) under said other retirement or pension
                          plan(s), or other similar fund(s) or program(s), is
                          made in a lump sum or in any method of payment

                          other than monthly payment for life only, monthly
                          joint and survivor payments or monthly installments
                          over a period equal to or greater than ten (10)
                          years, to the Participant or to his spouse or other
                          joint pensioner or beneficiary, the "Monthly
                          Retirement Plan Offset" shall be an actuarial
                          equivalent amount, as determined by the Committee
                          based upon the interest and mortality assumptions
                          used under the plan(s) maintained by the Employers or
                          any Subsidiary or as may be determined from time to
                          time by the Committee under Section 1.1(1) hereof
                          with respect to such plan(s) or fund(s) or program(s)
                          maintained by any other previous employer.

                 However, if any such Participant shall have contributed to the
                 source of payment(s) or fund(s) out of which said retirement
                 or pension payment(s) shall be paid or is payable, then the
                 "Monthly Retirement Plan Offset" shall not include any portion
                 of said amount attributable to the Participant's own
                 contributions.  The term "Monthly Retirement Plan Offset",
                 with respect to the Profit Sharing and Stock Bonus Retirement
                 Plan of McDermott Incorporated and Hudson Engineering
                 Corporation's Profit Sharing Trust Plan (which plans were
                 terminated on August 31, 1988) shall mean the Monthly Profit
                 Sharing and Stock Bonus Retirement Plan Offset determined
                 under Section 1.1(A)(29) of the Retirement Plan for Employees
                 of McDermott Incorporated and Subsidiary and Affiliated
                 Companies.  If any Participant shall become entitled to or
                 shall be paid any pension or retirement income payment(s) or
                 payment(s) of similar kind, under any plan in respect of which
                 the Employer, any Subsidiary or Affiliate or any previous
                 employer shall have

                 directly or indirectly contributed by reason of any law of the
                 United States or of any state thereof or of any foreign
                 country, then the total amount paid or payable to him in
                 respect of any such allowance or payments shall be considered
                 a retirement or pension plan maintained by the Employer, any
                 Subsidiary or Affiliate or any other previous employer for
                 purposes of this Plan.  United States Social Security
                 payment(s), Workmen's Compensation and similar benefits,
                 shall, however, not be included in "Monthly Retirement Plan
                 Offset".

                 his service. Transfer of employment among the Employers and
                 other Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall not be deemed an
                 interruption of employment for purposes of the Plan, and no
                 period of Service rendered for a given Employer shall count as
                 Service for more than one Employer.  Employment with any
                 person, firm or corporation to which the Employee was
                 transferred and loaned for such employment by an Employer will
                 be included in the Employee's Service in the same manner as if
                 such employment had been with an Employer.  Any Employee who
                 is absent from active employment due to accident or illness
                 and during such absence remains on the payroll shall be deemed
                 to be in employment during such absence.  Any voluntary
                 termination and any other absence from active employment not
                 deemed a leave of absence shall terminate an Employee's
                 Service as of the date the Employer considers the Employee to
                 have been dropped from its employment rolls.  A period of
                 authorized leave of absence granted by the Employer or absence
                 for the purpose of military service pursuant to the
                 requirement of law or by enlistment for not longer than the
                 minimum period

                 required by law, shall be counted as service if the Employee
                 resumes his employment with an Employer at the end of such
                 leave of absence or within the period prescribed by law for
                 the exercise of his reemployment rights.

1.2      PARTICIPATION

         Each Employee shall become a Participant as of the date the Committee
         selects the Employee for participation in the Plan.  Any Employee who
         continues in the employment of the Employers beyond his Retirement
         Date shall no longer qualify as a Participant under this Plan and,
         except as otherwise provided in Section 2.4(D), he and his spouse
         shall not be entitled to any benefits whatsoever under this Plan.
         Also, if a Participant remains in the employment of the Employers but
         has a change in his employment status so that he no longer qualifies
         as an Employee as defined herein, such person shall no longer qualify
         as a Participant under this Plan and, except as otherwise provided in
         Section 2.4(D), he and his spouse shall not be entitled to any
         benefits whatsoever under this Plan unless he has a subsequent change
         in his employment status so that he qualifies as an Employee hereunder
         and the Committee selects him for participation in the Plan."

1.3 - OTHER EMPLOYERS

         Any Subsidiary or Affiliate may adopt this Plan by proper action of
         its board of directors, provided, however, that the administrative
         powers and control of the Company, as





                                       12
<PAGE>   13
         provided in the Plan shall not be deemed diminished under the Plan by
         reason of the participation of any other Employers in the Plan.  The
         administrative powers and control granted in Section 4 of the Plan to
         the Company with respect to the administration of the Plan by the
         Committee and other matters shall apply only with respect to the
         Company and not to any other Employer.  Each Employer shall have the
         obligation to pay the retirement benefits under this Plan for its own
         Employees and no other Employer shall have such obligation, and any
         failure by a particular Employer to live up to its obligation under
         the Plan shall have no effect on any other Employer.

2.2 - EARLY RETIREMENT - AMOUNT OF RETIREMENT INCOME

         A Participant who retires prior to his Retirement Date with the

2.4 - BENEFITS OTHER THAN ON RETIREMENT

         (A)     Benefit Payable in the Event of Death on or Prior

                 terminated by reason of his death on or prior to his
                 Retirement Date, his surviving spouse shall be entitled to
                 receive for her remaining lifetime a monthly income equal to
                 the monthly retirement income to which the Participant would
                 have been entitled under Section 2.1 if he had retired on his
                 Retirement Date and if his Compensation for the one year
                 period prior to his death had continued without change to his
                 Retirement Date; provided, however, that on the deceased
                 Participant's Retirement Date, the amount of monthly income
                 payable to his surviving spouse shall be reduced to one-half
                 of said monthly income.

         (B)     Benefits Payable in the Event of Disability:  In the event an

                 shall be entitled to receive a monthly retirement income equal
                 to the amount of monthly retirement income to which he would
                 have been entitled on his Retirement Date, computed as for
                 retirement in accordance with Section 2.1 hereof, as if his
                 employment had not been terminated but had continued
                 uninterrupted from the date of disability to his Retirement
                 Date and as if his Compensation for the one year period prior
                 to his disability had continued without change to his
                 Retirement Date.  The monthly retirement income under this
                 Section 2.4(B) will be payable commencing on the first day of
                 each month coincident with or next following said
                 Participant's disability as determined

                 follows:

                 (1)      if the Participant recovers from his disability prior
                          to his Retirement Date, the last payment shall be the
                          payment due next preceding the date of such recovery;
                          or

                 (2)      if the Participant attains his Retirement Date while
                          still disabled, the last payment will be the payment
                          next preceding the Participant's death, provided,
                          however, that following a Participant's death,
                          one-half of the Participant's monthly retirement
                          income shall be paid to his spouse if she shall have
                          been married to the Participant on his Retirement
                          Date and shall have survived him, for her lifetime.

         (C)     Benefit Payable in the Event of Death of Disabled
                 Participant prior to Retirement Date:  If a disabled
                 Participant dies prior to his Retirement Date, his surviving
                 spouse shall be entitled to receive for her remaining lifetime
                 a monthly income equal to the monthly retirement income to
                 which the Participant would have been entitled under Section
                 2.1 if he had retired on his Retirement Date and if his
                 Compensation for the one year period prior to his disability
                 had continued without change to his Retirement Date; provided,
                 however, that on the deceased Participant's Retirement Date,
                 the amount of monthly income payable to his surviving spouse
                 shall be reduced to one-half of said monthly income.

         (D)     (1)      Benefits on Termination of Service:  In the event
                          that a Participant who has attained age 60 on or
                          before December 31, 1993 terminates employment on or
                          after December 31, 1993 for reasons other than his
                          death, disability, or retirement under Section 2.2
                          hereof, he shall be entitled to receive a monthly
                          retirement income as determined in accordance with
                          the applicable provision of Section 2.1 hereof, based
                          upon the Participant's Number of Years of Credited
                          Service and Final Average Monthly Compensation as
                          determined on December 31, 1993.  The monthly
                          retirement payment under this paragraph will be
                          payable commencing on the Participant's Retirement
                          Date as determined under Section 1.1(14) hereof, and
                          the last payment will be the payment due next
                          preceding the terminated Participant's death,
                          provided, however that following a terminated
                          Participant's death, one-half of the retired
                          Participant's monthly retirement income shall be paid
                          to his spouse if she shall have been married to the
                          Participant on the date his monthly retirement
                          payments commenced, and shall have survived him, for
                          her lifetime.  If a Participant should die after
                          termination of employment and before monthly
                          retirement income payments commence, no benefits
                          whatsoever shall be payable under this Plan.

                 (2)      Except as to those Participants described in
                          paragraph (1) above, in the event that a Participant
                          terminates employment for any reason other than his
                          death, disability or retirement under Section 2.2
                          hereof, he, and his spouse, shall not be entitled to
                          any benefits whatsoever under this Plan.

                 (3)      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to
                          the contrary, in the event a Participant's employment
                          is terminated for any reason whatsoever after the
                          date of an Effective Change in Control but prior to
                          his Retirement Date, such Participant (or his
                          surviving spouse, if any) shall be entitled to
                          receive the greater of (i) the benefits to which such
                          Participant or surviving spouse may be entitled to
                          under any other provisions of this Plan or (ii) the
                          Deferred Vested Benefit provided below.  The Deferred
                          Vested Benefit with respect to such a Participant
                          shall be non-forfeitable and shall be determined in
                          accordance with Section 2.1 hereof based on such
                          Participant's Number of Years of Credit Service and
                          Final Average Monthly Compensation as determined as
                          of the date of the Effective Change in Control.  Such
                          Deferred Vested Benefit shall be paid in accordance
                          with the provisions of Section 2.3 hereof, commencing
                          on such former Participant's Retirement Date and he
                          shall be considered a Participant for purposes of
                          determining such Retirement Date.  In the event of
                          the death of such former Participant prior to his
                          Retirement Date, such date of death shall be deemed
                          to be his Retirement Date for purposes of determining
                          any spousal benefits under Section 2.3 hereof."


2.5      INCREASE IN BENEFITS

         In the event a Participant, or his surviving spouse, is receiving
         benefits under Sections 2.1, 2.2 or 2.4 (A) through (C) hereof and the
         Retirement Plan for Employees of McDermott Incorporated and Subsidiary
         and Affiliated Companies provides for an increase





                                       20
<PAGE>   21
         in pension payments after retirement as a result of cost of living or
         similar adjustments, then the benefits payable under Sections 2.1, 2.2
         or 2.4 (A) through (C) hereof shall be similarly increased based upon
         the same cost of living or similar adjustments as set forth in such
         retirement plan.


2.6      LUMP SUM ELECTION

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may be contained in the
         Plan, a Participant retiring under Section 2.1 or 2.2 after attaining
         the age of 60 or terminating employment with a vested interest under
         Section 2.4(D)(1) shall have the right, with the consent of the
         Committee, to elect a lump sum distribution equal to the present value
         of the monthly income amounts that would otherwise be received under
         the Plan.  If a Participant retires at age 65, such Participant must
         have requested, in writing, the consent of the Committee to make such
         election at least twelve (12) months but not more than eighteen (18)
         months prior to such Participant's 65th birthday.  If a Participant
         should die after reaching age 60 and before retiring, the spouse shall
         also have the right, with the written consent of the Committee, to
         elect a lump sum distribution.

         The amount of the lump sum distribution to be paid to any Participant
         shall be calculated using the following criteria:

                 (A)      The form of benefit (e.g., joint and 50% survivor)
                          shall be the same as that elected by the Participant
                          under the ERISA qualified plan applicable to the
                          Participant;





                                       21
<PAGE>   22
                 (B)      The UP-84 Mortality Table; and

                 (C)      The Immediate Annuity Interest Rate published by the
                          Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation as in effect on
                          the date of the Participant's retirement.

         Payment hereunder shall be made within thirty days of the date of the
         Participant's retirement; provided, however that if the payment of a
         lump sum distribution hereunder would cause the Applicable Employee
         Remuneration (as defined in Section 162(m)(4) of the Internal Revenue
         Code of 1986, as amended) to exceed the limitation of Section
         162(m)(1) of the Code, then in its sole discretion the Committee may
         defer such payment.  Deferred payment hereunder shall be made within
         thirty days of the first day of the fiscal year of the Employer next
         following the Participant's retirement date.

         A deferred lump sum distribution shall earn interest from the
         Participant's date of retirement until paid, compounded daily, at the
         minimum commercial lending rate charged from time to time by Morgan
         Guaranty Trust Company of New York for loans in New York City.  If a
         Participant should die after retiring and prior to the payment of a
         deferred lump sum distribution, such distribution shall be payable to
         his spouse at the time it would have been paid to the Participant, if
         she shall have been married to him on his Retirement Date and shall
         have survived him.  Any payment made under this Section 2.6 shall be
         in complete satisfaction of any amounts which may be due to any
         Participant or his surviving spouse or any other person claiming under
         either of them pursuant to any other provisions of the Plan."

                              SPECIAL PROVISIONS REGARDING PAYMENT OF BENEFITS


3.1      BENEFITS APPLICABLE TO PARTICIPANT WHO HAS
         BEEN OR IS EMPLOYED BY TWO OR MORE EMPLOYERS

         In the event that a Participant or his surviving spouse is entitled to
         benefits under the Plan and such Participant has been or is employed
         by any two or more Employers, his retirement benefit shall be computed
         by applying the benefit formulas as if all the Employers were a single
         Employer, provided there is a proper allocation (taking into account
         the Credited Service and Compensation applicable to each Employer) of
         the costs of the resulting benefits among the Employers by which such
         Participant has been or is employed.


3.2      PARTICIPANTS TO FURNISH REQUIRED INFORMATION

         Each Participant will furnish to the Committee such information as the
         Committee considers necessary or desirable for purposes of
         administering the Plan, and the provisions of the Plan respecting any
         payments thereunder are conditional upon the Participant's furnishing
         promptly such  true, full and complete information as the Committee
         may request.

         Each Participant will submit proof of his age to the Committee at such
         time as required by the Committee.  The Committee will, if such proof
         of age is not submitted as required, use as conclusive evidence
         thereof, such information as is deemed by it to be reliable,
         regardless of the source of such information.  Any adjustment required
         by reason of lack of proof or the misstatement of the age of persons
         entitled to benefits hereunder, by the





                                       23
<PAGE>   24
         Participant or otherwise, will be in such manner as the Committee deems
         equitable.

         Any notice or information which, according to the terms of the Plan or
         the rules of the Committee, must be filed with the Committee, shall be
         deemed so filed at the time that it is actually received by the
         Committee.

         The Employers, the Committee, and any person or persons involved in
         the administration of the Plan shall be entitled to rely upon any
         certification, statement, or representation made or evidence furnished
         by a Participant with respect to his age or other facts required to be
         determined under any of the provisions of the Plan, and shall not be
         liable on account of the payment of any monies or the doing of any act
         or failure to act in reliance thereon.  Any such certification,
         statement, representation, or evidence, upon being duly made or
         furnished, shall be conclusively binding upon the person furnishing
         same; but it shall not be binding upon the Employers, the Committee,
         or any other person or persons involved in the administration of the
         Plan, and nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent any
         of such parties from contesting any such certification, statement,
         representation, or evidence or to relieve the Participant from the
         duty of submitting satisfactory proof of any such fact.


3.3      BENEFITS NOT ASSIGNABLE

         Except for any indebtedness of a Participant to an Employer, no
         benefits or rights shall exist under the Plan which are subject in any
         manner to voluntary or involuntary anticipation, alienation, sale,
         transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge and





                                       24
<PAGE>   25
         any attempt so to anticipate, alienate, transfer, assign, pledge,
         encumber or charge the same shall be void; nor shall any such benefit
         or right be in any manner liable for or subject to the debts,
         contracts, liabilities, engagements, torts or other obligations of the
         person entitled to such benefit or right, except as specifically
         provided in the Plan; nor shall any benefit or right under the Plan
         constitute an asset of a Participant or of any person entitled to
         benefits under the Plan in case of the bankruptcy, receivership or
         divorce of said person; and any such benefit or right shall be payable
         only directly to the Participant or to his surviving spouse.

         If a Participant or any other person entitled to benefits under this
         Plan becomes bankrupt or makes an assignment for the benefit of
         creditors or in any way suffers a lien or judgment against his
         personal assets, or in any way attempts to anticipate, alienate, sell,
         assign, pledge, encumber or charge a benefit or right, except as
         specifically provided in the Plan, then such benefit or right in the
         discretion of the Committee may cease and terminate.


3.4      CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT NOT AFFECTED BY PLAN

         The establishment and maintenance of the Plan will not be construed as
         conferring any legal rights upon any Participant to the continuation
         of his employment with an Employer, nor will the Plan interfere with
         the right of an Employer to discipline, lay off or discharge any
         Participant.  The adoption and maintenance of the Plan shall not be
         deemed to constitute a contract between the Employer and any Employee
         or to be a consideration for, inducement to, or condition of
         employment of any person.





                                       25
<PAGE>   26
3.5      ABANDONMENT OF BENEFITS

         Each Participant and other person entitled to benefits hereunder shall
         file with the Committee from time to time, in writing, his post office
         address and each change of post office address, and any check
         representing payment hereunder and any communication addressed to a
         Participant, a retired Participant, or a surviving spouse at his or
         her last address filed with the Committee (or, if no such address has
         been filed, then at his last address as indicated on the records of
         the Employer) shall be binding on such person for all purposes of the
         Plan, and the Committee shall not be obliged to search for or
         ascertain the location of any such person.

         If the Committee, for any reason, is in doubt as to whether retirement
         income payments are being received by the person entitled thereto, it
         may, by registered mail addressed to the person concerned at his
         address last known to the Committee, notify such person that all
         unmailed and future retirement income payments shall be henceforth
         withheld until he provides the Committee with evidence of his
         continued life and his proper mailing address.  Further, his right to
         any retirement income whatsoever including, without limitation,
         payments withheld as provided in the preceding sentence and payment
         checks returned or not cashed shall, at the option of the Committee,
         be cancelled forever if, at the expiration of three years from the
         date of such mailing, he shall not have provided the Committee with
         evidence of his continued life and his proper mailing address.


3.6      WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS REQUIRED

         Any notice, request, instruction, or other communication to be given
         or made hereunder shall be in writing and either personally delivered
         to the addressee or deposited in the





                                       26
<PAGE>   27
         United States mail fully postpaid and properly addressed to such
         addressee at the last address for notice shown on the Committee's
         records (or if no address has been filed with the Committee, then at
         the last address for such addresses as indicated on the records of the
         Employer).


3.7      DISHONESTY

         If dishonest conduct injurious to the Employer committed by a
         Participant is determined by the Committee during the lifetime of the
         Participant and within one year after his retirement, the Committee
         may terminate the Participant's interest and benefits under this Plan.

         The dishonest conduct injurious to an Employer committed by a
         Participant shall be determined and decided by the Committee only
         after a full investigation of such alleged dishonest conduct and an
         opportunity has been given the Participant or his representative to
         appear before the Committee to present his case.  The decision made by
         the Committee in such cases shall be final and binding on all
         Participants and other persons affected by such decision.

                                ADMINISTRATION


4.1      ADMINISTRATION BY COMMITTEE

         The Plan will be administered by the Committee which shall appoint one
         of its members as a Chairman and may appoint a secretary, who may, but
         need not, be a member of the Committee and the Committee may employ
         such agents, clerical and other services, legal counsel, accountants
         and actuaries as may be required for the purpose of administering the
         Plan.  A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a
         quorum for the transaction of business and shall have full power to
         act hereunder.  The Committee may act either at a meeting at which a
         quorum is present or by a writing subscribed by at least a majority of
         the members then serving.  Any written memorandum signed by the
         secretary or any member of the Committee who has been authorized to
         act on behalf of the Committee shall have the same force and effect as
         a formal resolution adopted in an open meeting.  Minutes of all
         meetings of the Committee and a record of any action taken by the
         Committee shall be kept in written form by the secretary appointed by
         the Committee.


4.2      RULES AND REGULATIONS OF COMMITTEE

         The Committee shall have the authority to make such rules and
         regulations and to take such action as may be necessary to carry out
         the provisions of the Plan and will, subject to the provisions of the
         Plan, decide any questions arising in the administration,
         interpretation and application of the Plan, which decisions shall be
         conclusive and binding on all parties.  The Committee may delegate any
         part of its authority and duties as it deems expedient.

<PAGE>   29
4.3      POWERS OF COMMITTEE

         In order to effectuate the purposes of the Plan, the Committee shall
         have the power to construe the Plan and to make equitable adjustments
         for any mistakes or errors made in the administration of the Plan, and
         all such actions or determinations made by the Committee in good faith
         shall not be subject to review by anyone.


4.4      LIABILITY OF COMMITTEE

         No member of the Committee shall be liable for any loss unless
         resulting from his own fraud, bad faith or intentional wrongdoing and
         no member shall be personally liable upon or with respect to any
         agreement, act, transaction or omission executed, committed or
         suffered to be committed by the Committee or by himself as a member of
         the Committee or by any other member, agent, representative or
         employee of the Committee.  The Committee and any individual member of
         the Committee and any agent thereof shall be fully protected in
         relying upon the advice of consultant(s) or advisor(s) employed by the
         Company or the Committee, including but without any limitation, any
         attorney insofar as legal matters are concerned, any accountant
         insofar as accounting matters are concerned and any actuary insofar as
         actuarial matters are concerned.


4.5      INDEMNIFICATION

         The Company agrees to hold harmless and indemnify the members of the
         Committee and all directors, officers, and employees of the Company
         and of any Subsidiary or Affiliate which has adopted this Plan against
         any and all claims and causes of action whomsoever, and any losses
         therefrom, including without limitation costs of defense and
         attorneys'





                                       29
<PAGE>   30
         fees, based upon or arising out of any act or omission relating to or
         in connection with this Plan, its interpretation or administration,
         other than losses resulting from the fraud, bad faith or intentional
         wrongdoing of the party asserting the right to indemnification.


4.6      APPLICABLE LAW

         The Plan will be construed and enforced according to the laws of the
         State of Louisiana, and all provisions of the Plan will be
         administered according to the laws of the said state.

                              GENERAL PROVISIONS


5.1      AMENDMENT AND DISCONTINUANCE

         The Plan may be amended from time to time in any respect whatever, by
         resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company specifying such
         amendment and amendments may be made retroactively which, in the
         judgment of the Committee, is necessary or advisable provided that
         such retroactive amendment does not deprive a retired or disabled
         Participant, or his spouse, without his or her consent, of a right to
         receive benefits hereunder.

         The participation in the Plan of Employers other than the Company
         shall not limit the power of the Company under the foregoing
         provision, and amendments by the Company shall be binding upon all
         other Employers to the extent accepted by such Employers.  Acceptance
         by each such Employer shall be presumed.  However the discontinuance
         of the Plan shall not affect the rights of retired or disabled
         Participants (or their spouses) who are receiving benefits under this
         Plan on the date of such discontinuance.


5.2      SOURCE OF BENEFITS

         All benefits payable to Participants of the Company under this Plan
         shall be paid from the general assets of the Company and all benefits
         payable to Participants of any Subsidiary or Affiliate which has
         adopted this Plan shall be paid from the general assets of such
         Subsidiary or Affiliate.  Benefits shall not be paid from any special
         or separate fund and no special or separate fund shall be established,
         or other segregation of assets made to make payment of benefits to
         eligible Participants or their surviving spouses hereunder.  No





                                       31
<PAGE>   32
         Participant or surviving spouse or any other person shall have, under
         any circumstances, any interest whatever in any particular property or
         assets of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate by virtue of this
         Plan.


5.3      BINDING ON COMPANY, EMPLOYEES AND THEIR SUCCESSORS

         This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
         Company and to the Subsidiaries and Affiliated Companies which have
         adopted this Plan, their successors and assigns and the Participant
         and his heirs, executors, administrators, tutors, and legal
         representatives.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, McDermott Incorporated has caused this instrument
         to be executed by its duly authorized officers on this 8th day of 
         November, 1993.

price for such stock, without regard to the exercise dates provided in such

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS




The Board of Directors
McDermott International, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of McDermott - ETPM
West, Inc. as of March 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related combined statements
of income, common stock and other equity, and cash flows for the years then
ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the combined financial position of McDermott - ETPM
West, Inc. at March 31, 1994 and 1993, and the combined results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
               FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994 AND 1993


NOTE 1 - GENERAL

McDermott-ETPM West, Inc. is a joint venture between McDermott International,
Inc. and ETPM, S.A. which provides general marine construction services to the
petroleum industry in the North Sea, West Africa and South America.  McDermott
International and ETPM, S.A. own 49.9% and 50.1% of McDermott-ETPM West, Inc.,
respectively.  McDermott-ETPM West, Inc., a Panamanian corporation, charters
one semi-submersible lay barge and one combination derrick-pipelaying barge
from McDermott International and two combination derrick-pipelaying barges from
ETPM, S.A.  McDermott International and ETPM, S.A. also provide fabrication
facilities located in Warri, Nigeria and Tchenque, Gabon, respectively.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The combined financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The
combined financial statements combine financial information of McDermott-ETPM
West, Inc. and its subsidiaries, and other entities of both McDermott
International, Inc. and ETPM S.A., which perform contracts on behalf of
McDermott-ETPM West, Inc.  All significant intercompany transactions and
accounts have been eliminated.

Unless the context otherwise requires, hereinafter the "Joint Venture" will be
used to mean the combined enterprise.


Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments, with maturities of three months
or less when purchased.  The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for
cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value.


Contracts and Revenue Recognition

Contract revenues on long-term contracts are recognized on a percentage of
completion method.  Under this method revenues and costs are recognized based
on the percentage that costs to date bear to total estimated costs.  Revenues
that exceed amounts invoiced to customers under the terms of the contracts are
included in Contracts in Progress.  Billings that exceed revenues recognized
under percentage of completion are included in Advance Billings on Contracts.
Most long-term contracts have provisions for progress payments.  Contract price
and cost estimates are reviewed periodically as the work progresses and
adjustments proportionate to the percentage of completion are reflected in
income in the period when such estimates are revised.  There are no unbilled
revenues which will not be billed.  Provisions are made currently for all known
or anticipated losses.  Claims for extra work or changes in scope of work are
included in contract revenues when collection is probable.

Retainages on contracts are included in Accounts receivable - trade.  There
were no such amounts at March 31, 1994, while $1,899,000 (all of which was
collected during fiscal year 1994) was included at March 31, 1993.





                                       8
<PAGE>   9
Depreciation, Maintenance and Repairs and Drydocking Expenses

Machinery and equipment is depreciated on the straight-line method, using
estimated useful lives of four to seven years.  Maintenance, repairs and
renewals which do not materially prolong the useful life of an asset are
expensed as incurred ($13,896,000 and $12,317,000 during fiscal years 1994 and
1993, respectively), except for drydocking costs for the marine fleet and
refurbishment costs for the main work barges, both of which are chartered from
the stockholders.  Drydocking costs are estimated and accrued over the period
of time between drydockings, and are charged to operations currently.
Refurbishment costs for the main work barges are estimated and accrued during
working periods and charged to operations currently.


Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars at current exchange
rates and income statement items are translated at average exchange rates for
the year.  Adjustments resulting from the translation of foreign currency
financial statements are recorded in a separate component of equity.


Forward Exchange Contracts

The Joint Venture enters into forward exchange contracts primarily as hedges
relating to identifiable currency positions.  These financial instruments are
designed to minimize exposure and reduce risk from exchange rate fluctuations
in the regular course of business.  Gains and losses on forward exchange
contracts which hedge exposures on firm foreign currency commitments are
deferred and recognized as adjustments of the bases of those assets.  Gains and
losses on forward exchange contracts which hedge foreign currency assets and
liabilities are recognized in income as incurred.  Such amounts effectively
offset gains and losses on the foreign currency assets or liabilities that are
hedged.

At March 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, the Joint Venture has forward
exchange contracts to purchase $31,987,000 and $10,959,000 in other currencies
(primarily Dutch Guilders) with French Francs, and to sell $106,463,000 and
$155,942,000 in other currencies (primarily U.S. Dollars, British Pounds,
Norwegian Kroner and Irish Pounds) for French Francs.  The 1994 forward
exchange contracts have various maturities, all of which occur during fiscal
years 1995 and 1996.


The fair values of forward exchange contracts are estimated by obtaining quotes
from brokers.  At March 31, 1994 and 1993, the net fair value of the contracts
was approximately $74,507,000 and $144,223,000, respectively.


NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES

All income has been earned outside of Panama and McDermott-ETPM West, Inc.
along with the other entities included in the Joint Venture are not subject to
income tax in Panama on income earned outside of Panama.  Substantially all
income taxes provided are based on the deemed profits of contracts performed in
various taxing jurisdictions.





                                       9
<PAGE>   10
In the countries in which Joint Venture operations are conducted through an ad
hoc joint venture between McDermott International, Inc. and ETPM S.A. or
through a registered partnership between a McDermott and ETPM entity, the
respective McDermott and ETPM entities are responsible for taxes based on their
proportionate share of contract revenues and costs; therefore, no taxes are
reflected in these statements.  Therefore, there is no expected relationship
between the provision for income taxes and income before provision for income
taxes.


NOTE 4 - CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

The Joint Venture is a defendant in numerous legal proceedings. Management
believes that the outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse
effect on the combined financial position of the Joint Venture.

Commitments for capital expenditures amounted to approximately $2,604,000 at
March 31, 1994, all of which relates to fiscal year 1995.

The stockholders of the Joint Venture are contingently liable under standby
letters of credit totalling approximately $53,557,000 at March 31, 1994, issued
in the normal course of business.


NOTE 5 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

The Joint Venture's customers are primarily in the petroleum industry in the
North Sea and West Africa.  This customer base is diversified between both
public and private industry customers, in numerous European and West African
countries.  The management of the Joint Venture believes this diversification
minimizes any potential credit risk.  Receivables are generally not
collateralized.


NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


The Joint Venture has material transactions with McDermott International, Inc.
and ETPM, S.A. occurring in the normal course of operations.  Under the joint
venture agreement, marine equipment and fabrication facilities are chartered
into the Joint Venture from both stockholders.  The charter expense for fiscal
years 1994 and 1993 was $26,361,000 and $25,578,000, respectively.

In addition, ETPM, S.A. provides general and administrative services to the
Joint Venture.  In fiscal years 1994 and 1993, the amounts of these services
were approximately $35,854,000 and $44,162,000, respectively.

                                AUDITOR'S REPORT



To the Partners of the
Heerema Offshore Construction Group Inc. and McDermott International Inc.
Joint Venture
Geneva





We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of the Heerema Offshore
Construction Group Inc. - McDermott International Inc. Joint Venture as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992 and the related combined statements of operations
partners' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1993.   These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Joint Venture's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these combined financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by the management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion the combined financial statements, referred to above, present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Heerema
Offshore Construction Group Inc. - McDermott International Inc. Joint Venture
at December 31, 1993 and 1992 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of
America.

AUDITOR'S REPORT (continued)





As explained in Note 2.2 the Joint Venture changed its policy in 1991 with
respect to charter rent as charged by the two Joint Venture Partners for the
four semi submersible crane vessels.  The full charter rent is now taken into
consideration for the purpose of revenue recognition and the calculation of
loss provision.  In prior years certain elements of this charter rent were
considered period cost.

                 NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE
                 THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993


         1.      GENERAL

                 The Heerema Offshore Construction Group Inc. - McDermott
                 International, Inc. Joint venture ("Joint Venture") is engaged
                 in the world wide offshore heavy lift market.  The Joint
                 Venture is 50% owned by both Heerema Offshore Construction
                 Group, Inc. and McDermott International, Inc. ("Partners").


         2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         2.1     BASIS OF PRESENTATION
                 The combined financial statements are presented in Dutch
                 Guilders in accordance with accounting principles generally
                 accepted in the United States of America.  The combined
                 financial statements include the accounts of HeereMac v.o.f.,
                 a Dutch partnership, Panama Offshore Chartering Company Inc.
                 and its wholly owned subsidiaries, all incorporated in Panama,
                 HeereMac Far East Pty. Ltd, a company incorporated in
                 Singapore, and Heerema McDermott Pty. Ltd, a company
                 incorporated in Australia.  All significant intercompany
                 transactions and accounts have been eliminated.  Certain
                 amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform
                 with the presentation at December 31, 1993.

                 Unless the context otherwise requires, hereinafter the "Joint
                 Venture" will be used to mean the combined enterprise.

         2.2     CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF ACCOUNTING CHANGE
                 Beginning in fiscal 1991, the Joint Venture changed its
                 accounting policy with respect to charter rent as charged by 
                 the Joint Venture Partners for the four semi-submersible
                 derrick barges. In prior years, certain elements of the
                 charter rent were considered period costs, whereas beginning
                 January 1, 1991, the full charter rent is used to determine
                 percentage of completion and calculation of
        




                                       10

COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1993

MCDERMOTT INTERNATIONAL INC.

         loss provisions. Management believes that this change is preferable
         because it provides a better matching of contract costs with related
         revenues in reporting periodic income and more accurately reflects the
         concentrative effort of the Joint Venture.

         The cumulative effect of the accounting change as of January 1, 1991
         was Dfl. 10.7 million.  Other than the cumulative effect, the
         accounting change resulted in a reduction of profit of approximately
         Dfl. 25 million in 1991.

2.3      FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
         Assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses that are denominated in
         currencies other than Dutch Guilders are measured and recorded in
         Dutch Guilders at exchange rates prevailing at the dates the
         transactions are recognized.  At December 31, 1993, balances
         denominated in currencies other than Dutch Guilders are adjusted to
         reflect the current exchange rate.  Resulting foreign currency
         transactions gains and losses are reported in income (loss) for the
         period.

2.4      CONTRACTS AND REVENUE RECOGNITION
         Revenues on contracts are recognized on a percentage of completion
         method. Under this method, revenues and costs are recognized based on
         the percentage that costs to date bear to total estimated costs.
         Revenues that exceed amounts invoiced to customers under the terms of
         the contracts are included in Contracts in Progress.   Billings that
         exceed revenues recognized under percentage of completion are included
         in Advance Billings on Contracts.

         Most long-term contracts have provisions for progress payments.
         Contract price and cost estimates are reviewed periodically as the
         work progresses and adjustments proportionate to the percentage of
         completion are reflected in income in the period when such estimates
         are revised. Claims for extra work or changes in scope of work are
         included in contract revenues when collection is probable. Provisions
         are currently made for all known or anticipated losses.

         There are no unbilled revenues which will not be billed.

         At December 31, 1993 and 1992, provisions for losses were Dfl. 44.3
         million and Dfl. 24.4 million, respectively.

2.5      INVENTORIES
         Inventories are primarily composed of barge supplies and are stated at
         lower of average cost or market.

2.6      FIXED ASSETS
         Fixed assets are stated at cost.  Modifications to leased equipment
         which enhance their usefulness and which remain the property of the
         Joint Venture are capitalized. Depreciation is calculated on a
         straight-line basis using estimated useful lives of 3 to 8 years.

2.7      SURVEY ACCRUAL
         Maintenance, repairs and renewals which do not materially prolong the
         useful life of an asset are expensed as incurred.  Provisions for
         major repairs arising from periodic surveys are based on the
         proportional allocation of the estimated total costs of periodic
         surveys per vessel over the expected operating period between surveys.

2.8      CASH EQUIVALENTS
         Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments, with maturities of
         three months or less when purchased.

2.9      FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CREDIT RISK CONCENTRATION
         The Joint Venture enters into forward exchange contracts with
         international financial institutions primarily relating to
         identifiable foreign currency exposures with respect to offshore
         contracts. In the case that the Joint Venture enters into forward
         exchange contracts relating to identifiable foreign currency exposures
         with respect to offshore contracts, the foreign currency positions are
         valued at contract rate. The Joint Venture's risk in these
         transactions is the cost of replacing at current market rates, these
         contracts in the event of default by the financial institution. The
         Joint Venture believes that risk of such losses is remote.

3.       INCOME TAXES

         The Joint Venture operates through various entities in various
         countries under different tax jurisdictions. The Joint Venture applies
         the provision of SFAS109.

         Under Dutch fiscal legislation the Joint Venture's entity HeereMac
         v.o.f. as a "Vennootschap Onder Firma (V.O.F.) is not directly liable
         for taxes. Taxation of income arising from this entity both in the
         Netherlands and abroad is for the account of both Partners. Panama
         Offshore Chartering Company, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries
         incurred no worldwide income tax in 1993, 1992 and 1991.
         Heerema-McDermott Australia Pty. Ltd. is directly liable for
         Australian income taxes. In 1992 and 1991, this company incurred no
         Australian income taxes. A provision for income taxes of Dfl. 4
         million (Aus$. 3 million) was posted in 1993.

         HeereMac Far East Pty. Ltd. is directly liable for Singapore income
         taxes. In 1993 this company incurred no income taxes.

4.       RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         The Joint Venture has material transactions with the Partners and
         their subsidiaries occurring in the normal course of operations.

         Included in other current assets are amounts of Dfl. 1.1 million and
         Dfl. 3.3 million at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively, which
         will be compensated by the Partners, primarily relating to Joint
         Venture survey costs on marine vessels.

         Included in accounts payable are Dfl. 30.8 million and Dfl. 22.2
         million at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively, with related
         parties. There are no notes payable and current maturities of long
         term debt at December 31, 1993 (December 31, 1992: Dfl. 4.6 million).
         At December 31, 1993 there was no long term debt (net of current

         made a capital contribution to the amount of Dfl. 25 million (Dfl. 25
         million repayment of capital per partner in 1992, and Dfl. 128 million
         contribution per partner in 1991). In 1993 distribution out of
         Accumulated Profits was made by the Joint Venture amounting to Dfl. 25
         million per partner.

         On the increase of capitalization the Partners shall have the right,
         pro rata, based upon their then current respective interests in the
         Joint Venture, to participate in such increase in the capitalization.

         The profit, gains and losses of the Joint Venture shall be allocated
         among the Partners in accordance with the percentages of
         participation.

</TABLE>

         The Joint Venture's floating rate note due 1999 is secured by a first
         mortgage on certain marine equipment.   The 8.75% note due 1995 is
         secured by a guarantee from Heerema Offshore Construction Group, Inc.

         The subordinated floating rate related party loan due 1999 was repaid
         during 1993 and replaced by a second floating rate loan with a third
         party due 1999 and secured by a second mortgage on certain marine
         equipment.

         Maturities of long-term debt during the five years subsequent to
         December 31, 1993 are as follows:  1994: Dfl. 35,024,000., 1995: Dfl.
         12,372,000., 1996: Dfl. 12,372,000., 1997: Dfl. 12,372,000, 1998: Dfl.
         12,372,000.

         At December 31, 1993, the Joint Venture had lines of credit and bank
         guarantees available amounting in total to Dfl 170 million (Dfl. 170
         million in 1992) guaranteed by the partners. Amounts drawn on this
         facility bear interest at prevailing market rates.  Borrowings against
         these facilities were Dfl. 18,806,000 at December 31, 1993 (Dfl.
         28,263,000 in 1992). The Joint Venture has bank guarantees drawn on
         this facility of Dfl. 88 million at

(See note 7.)

6.       PENSION LIABILITY

         The Joint Venture has defined benefits pension plans covering most of
         its full-time employees. The pension scheme is fully insured by a
         third party life insurance company in the Netherlands.  Premiums
         charged by the insurance company and expensed by the Joint Venture are
         calculated by determining the actuarial present value of future
         benefits to be provided based upon current compensation levels.
         Further, at the time of granting compensation increases, the Joint
         Venture accrues as pension provision the increase in its actuarial
         present value of future benefits.  Such amounts will be funded through
         enhanced future premiums. The discount rate used to calculate the
         actuarial present value of future benefits was 5% in 1993 and 7% in
         1992.  Pension cost paid by the Joint Venture amounted to Dfl. 3.3
         million in 1993 and Dfl. 2.8 million in 1992.

7.       CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

         The Joint Venture has the usual liability of a contractor for
         completion of contracts and the warranty of its work.  In relation to
         this liability bank guarantees and performance bonds are issued in the
         normal line of business. Bank guarantees outstanding at year end
         amounted to Dfl. 89.1 million (Dfl. 73 million in 1992). Due to the
         short term nature of the guarantees, the fair value is considered to
         be nil.  Management is not aware of any material exposure related
         thereto which has not been provided for in the accompanying
         statements.

         Certain marine equipment (primarily anchor handling tugs and cargo
         barges) have been pledged as collateral to secure certain floating
         rate long-term debt (See note 5).

         Future minimum lease payments and leased property relate to the lease
         of derrick barges and the lease of office space and cars. The leases
         of derrick

         barges are operating leases from related parties under the terms of a
         bare boat charter agreement which will expire at December 31, 2008.
         The leases of office space and cars are operating leases which will
         expire in 1998.  The future minimum annual lease payments amount to
         Dfl. 116 million for each of the succeeding five fiscal years.

</TABLE>

         Effective 1 January 1992, the Joint Venture changed its estimates of
         the remaining useful economic lives of certain offshore equipment.
         Depreciation lives of equipment acquired from the Partners in October
         1991, that previously averaged 5 years, were decreased to an average
         of 3 years.  These changes were made to better reflect the estimated
         periods during which such assets will remain in service.  The change
         had the effect of increasing depreciation expense(s) by Dfl. 10
         million in 1992. Pipelay equipment with a net book value of Dfl. 27
         million was fully written off in 1992. Drilling equipment with a net
         book value of Dfl. 15 million was fully written off in 1993. These
         assets are not expected to be used again in the near future.

9.       ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

         Included in accounts receivable are Dfl. 83.2 million and Dfl. 83.2
         million at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively, with related
         parties.  Accounts receivable are stated at net realizable value after
         deduction of a provision for uncollectability of Dfl. 235,000 for
         accounts receivable - trade (1992: nil), and Dfl. 650,000 for accounts
         receivable from related parties (1992: nil). Included in accounts
         receivable are amounts representing retainages on contracts with third
         parties of Dfl.- 17,000 (1992: Dfl. 4.5 million) and with related
         parties of Dfl. 4.9 million (1992 :Dfl. 85,000).

10.      FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CREDIT RISK CONCENTRATION

         At year end, the Company had forward exchange contracts to sell (1992:
         none) of:

         USD. 25 million at 1.926 (expire date 1st February 1994)
         USD. 10 million at 1.900 (expire date 25th October 1994)

         The fair values of forward exchange contracts are estimated by
         obtaining quotes from brokers. At December 31, 1993, the net fair
         value of the contracts was approximately Dfl. 68.2 million.

         Financial instruments which potentially subject the Joint Venture to
         concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents
         and accounts receivable.  The Joint Venture has not experienced any
         significant losses related to any of the short-term instruments it has
         used for excess cash balances, nor from receivables from individual
         customers or groups of customers.

11.      FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         The following methods and assumptions were used by the Joint Venture
         in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments.

COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1993
HEEREMA OFFSHORE CONSTRUCTION GROUP INC.
MCDERMOTT INTERNATIONAL INC.

         Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount reported in the balance
         sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value.

         Long and short term debt:  The carrying amount reported in the balance
         sheet of the 8.75% loan due 1995 approximates its fair value. For
         floating rate debt instruments the carrying value is considered to
         approximate the fair value.

Dear Sirs,

We hereby give our consent that the following auditors' report is included in
the combined financial statements 1993 of the Heerema Offshore Construction
Group Inc.- McDermott International Inc. Joint Venture, a copy of which we have
attached initialled for identification purposes.

"We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of the Heerema Offshore
Construction Group Inc. - McDermott International Inc. Joint Venture as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related combined statements of operations,
partners' equity, and cash flows for each of three years in the period ended
December 31, 1993. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Joint Venture's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these combined financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
the management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion the combined financial statements, referred to above, present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Heerema
Offshore Construction Group Inc.- McDermott International Inc. Joint Venture at
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
of America.

As explained in Note 2.2 the Joint Venture changed its accounting policy in
1991 with respect to charter rent as charged by the two Joint Venture Partners
for the four semi submersible crane vessels. The full charter rent is now taken
into consideration for the purpose of revenue recognition and the calculation
of loss provision. In prior years certain elements of this charter rent were
considered period cost.
