About this archive

This website is an independent archive of the former Bennett Offshore website. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by Bennett Offshore, Keppel, Seatrium or any of their successors. Company contacts are not available here, and nothing on this site is an offer of services.

Bennett Offshore was a naval architecture and offshore design firm founded in 1997 as Bennett & Associates in New Orleans, later headquartered in Houston. Keppel Offshore & Marine acquired it in 2012. From 2017 the old home page told visitors that Bennett services would be offered through Keppel companies, and the domain later lapsed. Between 2023 and 2024 it carried unrelated spam, none of which appears here. Wikipedia articles on Bennett Offshore, liftboats, the Q4000 and CG Railway cite pages from the old site, so we rebuilt those pages at their original addresses.

How the pages were recovered

Every restored page comes from web captures made between 2012 and 2019: most from Common Crawl's public crawl archive, the rest and all images from the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. For each address we took the most complete capture made before the site closed, and skipped the 2017 "We have moved" notice. The text is reproduced as the company published it. Each restored page shows the month of the capture it comes from in the grey bar under the menu. The layout, colours, menu and images follow the 2014 to 2017 design of the site; pages from the older 2012 to 2013 design are shown in the same layout and marked as such.

What we removed or changed

  • Contact and request-for-quote forms, e-mail addresses and telephone numbers. The old contact pages now lead here.
  • Links to pages that were never captured, to brochures in PDF format and to outside websites that no longer exist.
  • Analytics and third-party scripts. The home page slideshow was rebuilt without them.
  • Some photographs and drawings from the original pages have not been recovered from the web archives yet. Where an image is missing, the page shows the text without it.
  • The careers page is kept as a historical record only. It lists no open positions, and nobody here takes applications. The legal notice is likewise the old site's notice, kept as part of the record; this archive does not collect personal data.

The site map lists every restored page under the headings of the old menus. The layout now also adapts to phones. On a desktop screen the pages look as they did in 2016.

What we added

Reference notes written in 2026 sit under the archive menu and are marked on every page as additions. Short sections headed "Added in 2026" appear under a few restored pages that were very brief. These additions draw only on published sources, which each page lists. They do not change the original text.
