DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/bcd325/global_and_chinese) has announced the addition of the "Global and Chinese Offshore Supply Vessel (OSV) Industry Report, 2011" report to their offering.

“Global and Chinese Offshore Supply Vessel (OSV) Industry Report, 2011”

Offshore supply (support) vessel (hereinafter referred to as OSV) mainly consists of AHTS and PSV. And the building cost of a 16,000BHP AHTS and a 3,000 DWT PSV approximates USD75-85 million and USD40-50 million, respectively.

The years from 2006 to 2008 witnessed the most booming period for OSV industry. In particular, the new orders of AHTS in 2007 hit the record high of 362 vessels, while the figure in 2008 dropped to 201 units due to the oversupply. The new AHTS orders have seen sharp decline to roughly 56 units in 2011 since 2008. By contrast, the new PSV orders peaked in 2006 to 161 units, with the figures in 2007-2009 falling for consecutive three years. In 2010, the new order of PSV moderately recovered to 62 units, and the figure in 2011 was reduced to 48, approximately. Structural change arises in the wake of sluggish market. AHTS with high BHP has brisk demand. AHTS below 12,500BHP hardly made new orders, while those above 12,500BHP, represented by ones with 16,000BHP and 20,000BHP are much more popular. As for the PSV market, those above 2,000 DWT have robust demand. Presently, the mainstream products are those with 3,500DWT.
