Tidewater has added a new director, bringing its board back to seven.

The Houston offshore giant said this week that Darron Anderson, the current chief executive of Ranger Energy Services, would be joining its board of directors effective immediately.

"I’m honoured to have the opportunity to join Tidewater’s board, and I look forward to helping guide the company’s strategy as it navigates the current market and works to enhance its already leading market position," Anderson said.
