Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on Tidewater Inc (NYSE: TDW) price target lowered from $73 to $71.

Analyst, James C. West, said, "We believe the supply vessel upturn that began in 2H11 is gaining momentum and will accelerate going into FY2013. Strong demand for new and high-spec vessels is being driven by a pickup in offshore spending, particularly in deepwater...Substantial earnings power should be evident as the cycle starts to ramp."

However, West sees cost expenses related to repairing of company drydocks, therefore, he lowered FY13 EPS estimate from $4.80 to $4.50. FY14 maintained at $6.90.
