</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Registration Statement covers the registration of $10,000,000 Deferred Compensation
Obligations (as defined below) to be offered under the GulfMark Offshore, Inc. Deferred
Compensation Plan (as amended, the &#147;Deferred Compensation Plan&#148;) to a select group of our
management and highly compensated employees, as determined by a committee of one or more members of
the Board of Directors (the &#147;Deferred Compensation Committee&#148;), and our non-employee directors. The
Deferred Compensation Obligations are not registered under Section&nbsp;12 of the Exchange Act.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following is a brief description of the material features of the Deferred Compensation
Plan. Such description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Deferred
Compensation Plan, which is incorporated by reference into this registration statement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Participants may participate in the Deferred Compensation Plan by making an annual election to
make deferrals, which for an employee is a deferral of 1% to 50% of his or her base salary for the
plan year and/or 1% to 100% of his or her bonus earned during the plan year, and for non-employee
directors is a deferral from 5% to 100% of his or her director&#146;s fees for the plan year.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company will make a matching deferral on the participant&#146;s behalf in an amount equal to
the participant&#146;s deferred amount up to 7 1/2% of the participant&#146;s base salary and bonus (or
director&#146;s fees in the case of a non-employee director participant), which will be credited to the
participant&#146;s account in one or more installments, as determined by the Deferred Compensation
Committee. The Company may also credit a participant&#146;s account with discretionary deferrals in
such amount, if any, as the Deferred Compensation Committee determines in its sole discretion.
The Company&#146;s matching deferrals vest over a five-year period, 20% each year. A participant will
become 100% vested in the amount the Company matched upon (1)&nbsp;attainment of age 55 plus two years
of service or attainment of age 65, (2)&nbsp;disability, or (3)&nbsp;death. If a change in control event
occurs, a participant who has not incurred a separation from service prior to the date of the
change in control will become 100% vested in the amount the Company matched.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s obligations to pay participants under the Deferred Compensation Plan, upon their
separation from service, a specified date, disability, death or the occurrence of a change in
control event, such base salary, bonus, director&#146;s fees, and Company matching, the receipt of which
the participants have elected to defer under the Deferred Compensation Plan, are referred to as the
&#147;Deferred Compensation Obligations&#148;.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The participants&#146; accounts are deemed to be credited with earnings and losses in accordance
with such accounts&#146; deemed investments. Until the Deferred Compensation Committee prospectively
establishes different procedures, 100% of our matching deferrals are deemed to be invested in
shares of Company Class&nbsp;A common stock (the &#147;Common Stock&#148;) and the participants&#146; deferrals for the
first 7 1/2% of salary and bonus (or non-employee director&#146;s fees) will also be deemed invested in
shares of Common Stock. In accordance with procedures established by the Deferred Compensation
Committee, for the portion of the participant&#146;s deferred amount that is in excess of 7 1/2% of
salary and bonus (or non-employee director&#146;s fees) for the plan year, a participant may direct that
his or her account be deemed to be investing in Common Stock or in an account bearing a fixed rate
of interest, or a combination of both. If a participant makes no investment selections, his or her
entire deferred amount is deemed to be invested in Common Stock. Until such time as the Deferred
Compensation Committee may specify a different rate of interest, the fixed interest rate used to
determine the rate of return for the portion of a participant&#146;s account invested in the fixed rate
investment option is the United States Prime Rate as listed in the Eastern print edition of <I>The
Wall Street Journal </I>as of the date of crediting the deemed earnings under the Deferred Compensation
Plan, plus two percentage points.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has established a &#147;rabbi&#148; trust to fund the Common Stock portion of the benefits
under the Deferred Compensation Plan. The funds provided to the trust are invested by an
independent trustee in Common Stock, which is purchased by the trustee on the open market. The
assets of the trust are available to satisfy the claims of all our general creditors in the event
of our bankruptcy or insolvency.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Deferred Compensation Plan is an unfunded nonqualified deferred compensation plan for
Federal income tax purposes. Participants are not subject to federal income tax on the amounts

compensation that the participants would otherwise be paid by the Company and be taxed on
currently. Participants are also not subject to federal income tax on matching deferrals or any
discretionary deferrals credited to the participants&#146; accounts under the Deferred Compensation Plan
by the Company, nor are participants subject to federal income tax on deemed interest credited to
their accounts for any portion of such accounts deemed invested in the Deferred Compensation Plan&#146;s

Common Stock actually distributed to participants from the Deferred Compensation Plan, whether
attributable to the participant&#146;s deferrals or the Company, and whether representing the original
deferral amount or fixed interest on or appreciation for the original deferred amount, is ordinary
gross income to the participant received for the performance of services as an employee or as a
non-employee director.

advance expenses to, and hold harmless, each of our directors and officers (each, an &#147;indemnitee&#148;),
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, who was or is made or is threatened to be made a
party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he, or a person for whom he is the
legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Company or, while a director or
officer of the Company, is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent
of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity,
including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered
and expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) reasonably incurred by such indemnitee. Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in our certificate of incorporation and
bylaws, we will be required under our certificate of incorporation and bylaws to indemnify, or
advance expenses to, an indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by
such indemnitee only if the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the indemnitee was
authorized by our Board of Directors.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and certain of our
officers (each, a &#147;Contractual Indemnitee&#148;). Pursuant to the indemnification agreements, we will be
obligated to indemnify the applicable Contractual Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law in the event that such Contractual Indemnitee, by reason of such Contractual
Indemnitee&#146;s relationship with us, was, is or is threatened to be made a party to or participant in
any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, other than an action or proceeding by or
in our right against all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines (including any excise taxes assessed
on the Contractual Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan) and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Contractual Indemnitee in connection with such
action or proceeding, provided that such Contractual Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner
he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests, and, with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, provided that he or she also had no reasonable cause to believe
his or her conduct was unlawful. We will also be obligated to indemnify such Contractual Indemnitee
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in the event that such Contractual Indemnitee, by
reason of such Contractual Indemnitee&#146;s relationship with us, was, is or is threatened to be made a
party to or participant in any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding brought by or
in our right to procure a judgment in our favor, against all expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by such Contractual Indemnitee in connection with such action or proceeding, provided that
such Contractual Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to our best interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, no indemnification
against expenses incurred by such Contractual Indemnitee in connection with such an action or
proceeding brought by or in our right will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such Contractual Indemnitee is adjudged to be liable to us or if applicable law prohibits
such indemnification being made; provided, however, that, in such event, if applicable law so
permits, indemnification against such expenses will nevertheless be made by us if and to the extent
that the court in which such action or proceeding has been brought or is pending determines that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the
Contractual Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses. The
indemnification agreements also provide for the advancement of all reasonable expenses incurred by
such Contractual Indemnitee in connection with any action or proceeding covered by the
indemnification agreement. The Contractual Indemnitee will be required to repay any amounts so
advanced if, and to the extent that, it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to
be indemnified by us against such expenses. The Contractual Indemnitee will further be required to
return any such advance to us which remains unspent at the conclusion of the action or proceeding
to which the advance related.

reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain in effect during the entire period for which we are

director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The Deferred Compensation Obligations being registered represent general unsecured

accordance with the terms of the GulfMark Offshore, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (as
amended, the "Deferred Compensation Plan").
EXPLANATORY NOTE
GulfMark Offshore, Inc. is including the Deferred Compensation Obligations (as defined below)
in this Registration Statement because of the uncertainty as to whether the Deferred Compensation
Obligations would or should be considered "securities", or be subject to registration, under the
Securities Act. The inclusion of the Deferred Compensation Obligations in this Registration
Statement is not an admission by the registrant that the Deferred Compensation Obligations are
securities or are subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

Item 4.
Description of Securities.
This Registration Statement covers the registration of $10,000,000 Deferred Compensation
Obligations (as defined below) to be offered under the GulfMark Offshore, Inc. Deferred
Compensation Plan (as amended, the "Deferred Compensation Plan") to a select group of our
management and highly compensated employees, as determined by a committee of one or more members of
the Board of Directors (the "Deferred Compensation Committee"), and our non-employee directors. The
Deferred Compensation Obligations are not registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
The following is a brief description of the material features of the Deferred Compensation
Plan. Such description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Deferred
Compensation Plan, which is incorporated by reference into this registration statement.
Participants may participate in the Deferred Compensation Plan by making an annual election to
make deferrals, which for an employee is a deferral of 1% to 50% of his or her base salary for the
plan year and/or 1% to 100% of his or her bonus earned during the plan year, and for non-employee
directors is a deferral from 5% to 100% of his or her director's fees for the plan year.
The Company will make a matching deferral on the participant's behalf in an amount equal to
the participant's deferred amount up to 7 1/2% of the participant's base salary and bonus (or
director's fees in the case of a non-employee director participant), which will be credited to the
participant's account in one or more installments, as determined by the Deferred Compensation
Committee. The Company may also credit a participant's account with discretionary deferrals in
such amount, if any, as the Deferred Compensation Committee determines in its sole discretion.
The Company's matching deferrals vest over a five-year period, 20% each year. A participant will
become 100% vested in the amount the Company matched upon (1) attainment of age 55 plus two years
of service or attainment of age 65, (2) disability, or (3) death. If a change in control event
occurs, a participant who has not incurred a separation from service prior to the date of the
change in control will become 100% vested in the amount the Company matched.
The Company's obligations to pay participants under the Deferred Compensation Plan, upon their
separation from service, a specified date, disability, death or the occurrence of a change in
control event, such base salary, bonus, director's fees, and Company matching, the receipt of which
the participants have elected to defer under the Deferred Compensation Plan, are referred to as the
"Deferred Compensation Obligations".
The participants' accounts are deemed to be credited with earnings and losses in accordance
with such accounts' deemed investments. Until the Deferred Compensation Committee prospectively
establishes different procedures, 100% of our matching deferrals are deemed to be invested in
shares of Company Class A common stock (the "Common Stock") and the participants' deferrals for the
first 7 1/2% of salary and bonus (or non-employee director's fees) will also be deemed invested in
shares of Common Stock. In accordance with procedures established by the Deferred Compensation
Committee, for the portion of the participant's deferred amount that is in excess of 7 1/2% of
salary and bonus (or non-employee director's fees) for the plan year, a participant may direct that
his or her account be deemed to be investing in Common Stock or in an account bearing a fixed rate
of interest, or a combination of both. If a participant makes no investment selections, his or her
entire deferred amount is deemed to be invested in Common Stock. Until such time as the Deferred
Compensation Committee may specify a different rate of interest, the fixed interest rate used to
determine the rate of return for the portion of a participant's account invested in the fixed rate
investment option is the United States Prime Rate as listed in the Eastern print edition of
The
Wall Street Journal
as of the date of crediting the deemed earnings under the Deferred Compensation
Plan, plus two percentage points.
3
The Company has established a "rabbi" trust to fund the Common Stock portion of the benefits
under the Deferred Compensation Plan. The funds provided to the trust are invested by an
independent trustee in Common Stock, which is purchased by the trustee on the open market. The
assets of the trust are available to satisfy the claims of all our general creditors in the event
of our bankruptcy or insolvency.
The Deferred Compensation Plan is an unfunded nonqualified deferred compensation plan for
Federal income tax purposes. Participants are not subject to federal income tax on the amounts
they elect to defer under the Deferred Compensation Plan, and such amounts reduce the current cash
compensation that the participants would otherwise be paid by the Company and be taxed on
currently. Participants are also not subject to federal income tax on matching deferrals or any
discretionary deferrals credited to the participants' accounts under the Deferred Compensation Plan
by the Company, nor are participants subject to federal income tax on deemed interest credited to
their accounts for any portion of such accounts deemed invested in the Deferred Compensation Plan's
"fixed interest" deemed investment option or on increases in the value of Common Stock for any
portion of such accounts deemed invested in Common Stock. The amount of cash or the value of
Common Stock actually distributed to participants from the Deferred Compensation Plan, whether
attributable to the participant's deferrals or the Company, and whether representing the original
deferral amount or fixed interest on or appreciation for the original deferred amount, is ordinary
gross income to the participant received for the performance of services as an employee or as a
non-employee director.
The Deferred Compensation Committee supervises the administration and enforcement of the
Deferred Compensation Plan and make all other policy decisions relating to the operation of the
Deferred Compensation Plan.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Our certificate of incorporation contains provisions eliminating the personal
liability of our directors to the Company and our stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of
their fiduciary duties as directors to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law
of the State of Delaware or any other applicable law as it exists on the date of our certificate of
incorporation or as it may be amended. The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
prohibits such elimination of personal liability of a director for:
•
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;
•
acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or
a knowing violation of law;
•
the payment of dividends, stock repurchases or redemptions that are
unlawful under Delaware law; and
•
any transaction in which the director receives an improper personal benefit.
These provisions only apply to breaches of duty by directors as directors and not in any other
corporate capacity, such as officers. In addition, these provisions limit liability only for
breaches of fiduciary duties under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and not for
violations of other laws such as the U.S. Federal securities laws and U.S. Federal and state
environmental laws. As a result of these provisions in our certificate of incorporation, our
stockholders may be unable to recover monetary damages against directors for actions taken by them
that constitute negligence or gross negligence or that are in violation of their fiduciary duties.
However, our stockholders may obtain injunctive or other
4
equitable relief for these actions. These provisions also reduce the likelihood of derivative
litigation against directors that might benefit us.
In addition, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify and
advance expenses to, and hold harmless, each of our directors and officers (each, an "indemnitee"),
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, who was or is made or is threatened to be made a
party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he, or a person for whom he is the
legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Company or, while a director or
officer of the Company, is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent
of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity,
including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered
and expenses (including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by such indemnitee. Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in our certificate of incorporation and
bylaws, we will be required under our certificate of incorporation and bylaws to indemnify, or
advance expenses to, an indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by
such indemnitee only if the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the indemnitee was
authorized by our Board of Directors.
We entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and certain of our
officers (each, a "Contractual Indemnitee"). Pursuant to the indemnification agreements, we will be
obligated to indemnify the applicable Contractual Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law in the event that such Contractual Indemnitee, by reason of such Contractual
Indemnitee's relationship with us, was, is or is threatened to be made a party to or participant in
any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, other than an action or proceeding by or
in our right against all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines (including any excise taxes assessed
on the Contractual Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan) and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Contractual Indemnitee in connection with such
action or proceeding, provided that such Contractual Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner
he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests, and, with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, provided that he or she also had no reasonable cause to believe
his or her conduct was unlawful. We will also be obligated to indemnify such Contractual Indemnitee
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in the event that such Contractual Indemnitee, by
reason of such Contractual Indemnitee's relationship with us, was, is or is threatened to be made a
party to or participant in any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding brought by or
in our right to procure a judgment in our favor, against all expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by such Contractual Indemnitee in connection with such action or proceeding, provided that
such Contractual Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to our best interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, no indemnification
against expenses incurred by such Contractual Indemnitee in connection with such an action or
proceeding brought by or in our right will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such Contractual Indemnitee is adjudged to be liable to us or if applicable law prohibits
such indemnification being made; provided, however, that, in such event, if applicable law so
permits, indemnification against such expenses will nevertheless be made by us if and to the extent
that the court in which such action or proceeding has been brought or is pending determines that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the
Contractual Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses. The
indemnification agreements also provide for the advancement of all reasonable expenses incurred by
such Contractual Indemnitee in connection with any action or proceeding covered by the
indemnification agreement. The Contractual Indemnitee will be required to repay any amounts so
advanced if, and to the extent that, it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to
be indemnified by us against such expenses. The Contractual Indemnitee will further be required to
return any such advance to us which remains unspent at the conclusion of the action or proceeding
to which the advance related.
In addition, the indemnification agreements provide that we will use all commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain in effect during the entire period for which we are
obligated to indemnify a Contractual Indemnitee under his or her indemnification agreement, one or
more insurance policies providing our directors and officers coverage for losses from wrongful acts
and omissions and to ensure our performance of our indemnification obligations under each
indemnification agreement.

Undertakings.
(a)
The registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the
most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in
the aggregate, represent a
6
fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease
in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if,
in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more
than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set
forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
effective registration statement; and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect
to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
statement or any material change to such information in the registration
statement;
Provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with
or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering
thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
