The company's operations are spread across various regions, including the United States, Africa and Europe, the Middle East and Asia, and Latin America, specifically Mexico and Guyana.

SMHI's primary business activities revolve around providing transportation services to offshore energy facilities. These services support a wide range of activities, such as oil and natural gas exploration and production, offshore wind farm installation and maintenance, and construction and decommissioning of offshore platforms.

The company has built a strong reputation for providing reliable and efficient services, which has helped establish long-term relationships with major integrated national and international oil companies, independent oil and natural gas exploration and production companies, oil field service and construction companies, and offshore wind farm operators and installation and maintenance companies.
