Fifth Supplemental Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement

     Fifth Supplemental Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement (the “Fifth Supplemental Subsidiary
Guarantee Agreement”) dated June 23, 2005, among Seabulk International, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Borrower”); Seabulk Towing, Inc., a Delaware corporation; each of the four
Additional Subsidiary Guarantors hereinbelow specified; and Fortis Capital Corp. (the “Agent”).

Preliminary Statement

     Pursuant to the terms of the Swap Agreements, each of the Counterparties agreed to provide the
Borrower with an interest rate swap to enable the Borrower to manage its interest rate exposure.
As a condition to providing such Swap Agreements and any other Swap Agreements from time to time
outstanding, each of the Counterparties requested that the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and
severally, guarantee the Obligations of the Borrower under the Swap Agreements by entering into the
Guarantee Agreement and securing the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations hereunder by granting to
the Agent, on behalf of the Counterparties, a lien in, to and under the Guarantee Collateral.

     In connection with the restructuring, for commercial reasons, of the ownership and/or
operation of certain assets belonging to the Borrower or, in some cases, to subsidiaries of the
Borrower, the Borrower has requested the consent of the Agent, on behalf of the Counterparties, to
the transfer, by way of capital contributions, of all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in
and to the following U.S.-Flag Vessels and the Guarantee Collateral related thereto to certain
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Borrower (indicated below), subject to the continuation of the lien of
the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, in, to and under each of said Vessels and the Guarantee
Collateral related thereto:

SEABULK
CHALLENGE (O.N. 642151) to Seabulk Petroleum Transport, Inc.
(“SPT”)

SEABULK TRADER (O.N. 638899) to Seabulk Energy Transport, Inc. (“SET”)

SEABULK POWER (O.N. 518738) to Seabulk Ocean Transport, Inc. (“SOT”)

HOLLYWOOD (O.N. 678702) to Seabulk Towing, Inc.

     Borrower will contribute each of the SEABULK CHALLENGE, SEABULK TRADER and SEABULK POWER to
the corresponding subsidiary through an intermediate, wholly-owned holding company, Seabulk Energy
Carriers, Inc.(“SEC”), which will take and immediately transfer “flash” title in each Vessel, via
capital contribution, to the corresponding transferee-subsidiary shown above.

     Although Seabulk Towing, Inc., is and remains a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary
Guarantee Agreement, SPT, SET, SOT and SEC are not. Accordingly, in order to induce the Agent, on
behalf of the Counterparties, to consent to the above-described transfers by way of capital
contributions to Borrower’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Borrower has agreed to cause each of those
subsidiaries — SPT, SET, SOT and SEC (hereinafter the “Additional Subsidiary Guarantors”) — to
become a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guarantee Agreement

1

 

by executing this Fifth Supplemental Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement. As further inducement to the
Agent, on behalf of the Counterparties, to give such consent, each of the Borrower; Seabulk Towing,
Inc.; and the Additional Subsidiary Guarantors has agreed to execute and deliver (and cause to be
recorded where appropriate) in favor of the Agent, on behalf of the Counterparties, any and all
documents necessary to evidence the continuation of the lien of the Agent, on behalf of the
Counterparties, in, to and under the corresponding Vessel and the Guarantee Collateral related
thereto, concurrently with or immediately following its transfer or assumption of title to said
Vessel (as the case may be) in connection herewith and (in the case of each of SPT, SET, SOT and
Seabulk Towing, Inc.) the re-documentation of same under its ownership. All things necessary to
make this Fifth Supplemental Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement a valid agreement of the Borrower,
Seabulk Towing, Inc., and each of the Additional Subsidiary Guarantors in accordance with its terms
have been done.

Statement of Agreement

     NOW, THEREFORE, and in consideration of the premises, it is mutually covenanted and agreed,
for the equal and proportionate benefit of the Agent and each of the Counterparties, as follows:

     SECTION 1. Each Additional Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees to become a Subsidiary
Guarantor under the Guarantee Agreement and, together with each other Subsidiary Guarantor, hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, to the Agent and each of the
Counterparties (i) the full and prompt payment of an amount equal to each and all of the payments
and other sums when and as the same shall become due, required to be paid by the Borrower under
each of the Swap Agreements and (ii) the full and prompt performance and observance by the Borrower
of the obligations, covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed by the Borrower
under each of the Swap Agreements (items (i) and (ii), the “Subsidiary Guarantee Obligations”).
Each Additional Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, upon any
default by the Borrower in the payment, when due, of any amounts (including amounts in respect of
fees and indemnification owing to the Agent or the Counterparties) due under the Swap Agreements,
it will promptly pay the same within ten (10) days after receipt of written demand therefor from
the Agent or any Counterparty. Each Additional Subsidiary Guarantor further hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees that, upon any default by the Borrower in any of its obligations, covenants
and agreements required to be performed and observed by the Borrower under the Swap Agreements, it
will effect the observance of such obligations, covenants and agreements within ten (10) days after
receipt of written demand therefor from the Agent or any Counterparty.

     Each Additional Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the Subsidiary Guarantee Obligations
may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from said
Additional Subsidiary Guarantor and that said Additional Subsidiary Guarantor will remain bound
under the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Subsidiary
Guarantee Obligation. Each Additional Subsidiary Guarantor is subject to all the provisions of the
Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement applicable to a Subsidiary Guarantor. Without limiting the effect of
the foregoing, each Additional Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that it is hereby bound by the
provisions of Section 4.18 of the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement relating to the assignment to the
Agent as security, and hereby grants to

2

 

the Agent a security interest in (subject to the provisions of the applicable Assignment of
Earnings and Insurances), all the freights, hires, charters and Insurances to which such Additional
Subsidiary Guarantor is entitled in respect of the Vessel and any other Vessels that it owns which
are subject to the Mortgages.

     SECTION 2. Each of the Borrower; Seabulk Towing, Inc.; and the Additional Subsidiary
Guarantors hereby agrees to execute and deliver (and cause to be recorded where appropriate) in
favor of the Agent, on behalf of the Counterparties, any and all documents necessary to evidence
the continuation of the lien of the Agent, on behalf of the Counterparties, in, to and under the
corresponding Vessel and the Guarantee Collateral related thereto, concurrently with or immediately
following its transfer or assumption of title to said Vessel (as the case may be) in connection
herewith and (in the case of each of SPT, SET, SOT and Seabulk Towing, Inc.) the re-documentation
of same under its ownership.

     SECTION 3. The Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement, as supplemented and amended by this
Fifth Supplemental Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement and all other Subsidiary Guarantee Agreements
supplemental thereto, is in all respects ratified and confirmed, and the Subsidiary Guarantee
Agreement, this Fifth Supplemental Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement and all Subsidiary Guarantee
Agreements supplemental thereto shall be read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument.

     SECTION 4. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another
provision hereof which is required to be included in this Fifth Supplemental Subsidiary Guarantee
Agreement by any of the provisions of the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement, such required provision
shall control.

     SECTION 5. All covenants and agreements in this Fifth Supplemental Subsidiary
Guarantee Agreement by each of Seabulk Towing, Inc., and the Additional Subsidiary Guarantors shall
bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

     SECTION 6. In case any provision in this Fifth Supplemental Subsidiary Guarantee
Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

     SECTION 7. Nothing in this Fifth Supplemental Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement,
expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors
hereunder, and the Counterparties any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim
under this Fifth Supplemental Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement.

     SECTION 8. THIS FIFTH SUPPLEMENTAL CREDIT AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.

     SECTION 9. All terms used in this Fifth Supplemental Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement
not otherwise defined herein that are defined in Appendix A to the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement
shall have the meanings set forth therein.

     SECTION 10. This Fifth Supplemental Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement may be executed in
any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original; but such counterparts shall
together constitute but one and the same instrument.

EXHIBIT 10.50

AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

BY AND BETWEEN

SEABULK INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND GERHARD E. KURZ

     This Amendment No. 4 to the Executive Employment Agreement by and between Seabulk
International, Inc., a Delaware corporation formerly known as Hvide Marine Incorporated (the
“Company”), and Gerhard E. Kurz (“Executive”), dated as of April 18, 2000 (the “Agreement”),
is entered into as of the 18th day of April, 2005.

     WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to amend the Agreement in certain respects, and
the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company authorized this amendment on
April 18, 2005;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and the mutual benefits provided
in the Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and
Executive hereby amend the Agreement as set forth below:

     1. The following new Section 8.7 shall be added to the Agreement:

     “8.7 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if
Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason other than for
“cause” or without “good reason,” as defined herein, the Company shall pay Executive
a single lump sum cash payment in respect of his accrued but unused vacation days
(if any) for the year of termination within five (5) days after the date of such
termination of employment.”

     2. The text of Item 1 of Amendment No. 3 to the Agreement, designated as Section 4.3(b) of the
Agreement in such amendment, is hereby re-designated as new Section 8.8 of the Agreement and is
hereby restated in its entirety as follows:

     “8.8 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if
Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated “without cause” or for “good
reason,” as defined herein, within two years after the date upon which a Change in
Control occurs, then the Company will take the following actions, such actions to be
taken as of the last day of Executive’s employment with the Company unless otherwise
provided below:

          (a) Cause any and all outstanding options to purchase common stock of
the Company and any and all restricted stock which have not become
nonforfeitable held by Executive to become immediately exercisable and
nonforfeitable in full; and cause Executive’s accrued benefits under any and
all nonqualified deferred compensation plans sponsored by the Company to
become immediately nonforfeitable.

 

 

          (b) Cause any and all outstanding options to purchase common stock of
the Company held by Executive to remain exercisable for thirty-six (36)
months after the last day of Executive’s employment with the Company (but in
no event shall any such option be exercisable for (i) a longer period than
the original term of such option or (ii) a shorter period than that already
provided for under the terms of such option).

          (c) If Executive’s employment with the Company terminates prior to the
payment of incentive awards under the Company’s Management Annual Incentive
Compensation Plan (“MAICP”) for the 2005 calendar year, pay Executive,
within five (5) days after the date of such termination of employment, a
lump sum cash payment equal to 100% of the 2005 maximum incentive award
specified for Executive under the MAICP multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of days Executive was employed by the
Company during calendar year 2005 and the denominator of which shall be
365.”

     3. As so amended, the Agreement remains in full force and effect.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused this Amendment No. 4 to be duly
executed and delivered as of the day and year first written above.
