Favorable demand outlook for C/SOV
- Favorable demand outlook for C/SOV despite announced delays and setbacks within the supply chain
- Delays and unscheduled work at the wind farms result in additional work for CSOVs
- Despite recent newbuilding orders, C/SOV demand is estimated to significantly outgrow supply
- At present, conventional oil & gas vessels (Tier 2/3) are bridging the demand gap in the market. However, with the shift towards Tier 1 preference and the return of Tier 2/3 vessels to the oil & gas sector, it's anticipated that C/SOVs will be required to fill this gap
- High seasonal dayrates observed for the CSOV market
Market fundamentals continue to improve with forecasted strong demand for C/SOVs
