Note: Overview per 24.04.2025
Market and outlook
The Middle East conflict has driven oil prices significantly higher and disrupted offshore activity in the Persian Gulf, halting operations and leaving many offshore vessels, especially AHTSs and PSVs, stuck in the region. However, this has not significantly affected offshore markets in other regions. For the conflict to have a broader impact on global offshore demand, oil prices would need to remain elevated over time, encouraging new project approvals.
Availability of larger subsea vessels remains tight and this is expected to continue in the coming months. At the same time, tender activity is increasing in the 150-250-tonne segment for both project-based and medium-term requirements. Given the current backlog among major EPCI contractors, demand for subsea tonnage is expected to remain strong, supporting opportunities for long-term contractual charters. The positive demand outlook may be partly offset by new vessels entering the market in 2027-2028, which could limit further increases in day rates.
The AHTS market is expected to remain volatile, but we anticipate prolonged peaks as more projects enter the market, which will also impact long-term contract levels. The significant number of FPSO installations will contribute positively to this segment, as these projects require multiple vessels and early commitments, creating market constraints. Floating wind projects may provide additional boost to this segment, although this demand is likely several years away.
Despite continued low rig activity in the UK, the North Sea AHTS market improved further in 1Q. Vessel departures to other regions and dry dockings kept the available spot fleet at a low level. Average fixture rates were around USD 120,000 per day, a 20% increase over the previous quarter and 180% higher than in 1Q 2025. The highest recorded daily rate exceeded USD 300,000. Current activity in the UK sector is low, but two additional semi-submersible rigs are expected to commence operations during 2Q, which will increase AHTS demand.
Semi-submersible rig activity in Australia remained low and this is expected to continue through 2026. However, we see several opportunities for project work in the APAC region. Rig activity in the region is expected to grow again during 2027. The Company has good contract coverage in the region for the remainder of the year.
In South America, the market outlook is softening in the short term. Petrobras has indicated intentions to reduce costs and revise its business plan. We therefore expect some delays and reductions in spending. We expect Petrobras to increase tendering activity again towards the end of the year. The Company's outlook and contract coverage in the region remain solid.
