Apart from existing oil reserves, businesses are in search of new offshore reserves and untouched wells. These factors play a crucial role in increasing demand for the platform support ships for safe transportation. Growing exploration and production activities in offshore region are supported by growing market for platform support vessels.
Segmentation in this market is interestingly based on the types of vessels and geographical demand and supply pattern for these ships. Based on the types, the global offshore support vessel market is segmented into AHTS (anchor handling towing supply vessel), platform supply vessels (PSV), crew boats, standby and rescue vessels and multi-purpose service vessels or MPSV. Based on all these types, the global market is expected to rise at an estimated CAGR of 5.7% from 2013 to 2018. At this rate, the market will reach past $91.2 billion.
