Fuel bunker however, rose by 74% YOY to US$0.2 million due to a new wet contract in 2021.”
" –Oil & Gas Industry
2021 has brought fresh optimism around the world as most major countries have been actively vaccinating their populations, resulting in more traffic and the opening up of some sectors of the economy. The new variants and alarming escalation of infections in India demonstrate that the recovery will not be smooth, but economic data around the world has turned more positive.
–Offshore Vessels
Similarly, there has been a turnaround of sentiment in the oil and gas industry, with most predictions showing a bottom in 2020-2021 and anticipating higher investment along with a stabilizing oil price above US$50/barrel. This has also been reflected in the Offshore Supply Vessel (OSV) market which has seen increased transactions of second hand vessels since the start of the year.
There are more tenders in 2021 compared to last year, although charter rates in the region have not yet risen as much as in the North Sea. The highest tendering activity has been in Malaysia and Brunei, while Indonesia has lagged."
