Risk of a Perfect Storm

Oil markets are heading into the period of maximum seasonal tightness (June through September) with relatively low levels of global crude stocks. With a forecast increase of 3 MMB/D in crude runs, we see extraordinary summer tightness in oil markets.

In this current period of downturn, critics of offshore shipowners will say that owners have been guilty of not scrapping older tonnage in order to maintain a young and advanced fleet. Though this is justified, rewind to pre-downturn, these debt free older vessels were able to get work on a fairly regular basis, and were a cashflow generator for owners.

VesselsValue (VV), the world’s leading online valuation provider, is launching daily valuations for Offshore Construction Vessels (OCVs). This completes VV’s expansion into Offshore Valuation, which already includes all types of Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODUs) and Offshore Support Vessels (OSVs). OCVs add 2,000 vessels to the VV database bringing the total number of offshore units assessed by VV to over 11,000.
