Tidewater is keeping up the fight to recapture the nearly $60m owed by Venezuela after the country seized a bevy of ships in a 2009 nationalization push.

In January, the Houston-based, New York-traded offshore player won a $36.4m judgement against the South American country in Washington, DC federal court and in mid-April registered the judgement in Delaware federal court.

The judgements come on top of awards won in World Bank arbitration and in UK courts.
