According to MRFR analysis, the global Offshore Support Vessels Market Size is expected to register a CAGR of ~ 5.11% from 2023 to 2030 and hold a value of over USD  14.6 Billion by 2030.

Offshore support vessels (OSVs) are ships used to support offshore oil and gas exploration, production, and drilling activities.

These vessels can provide a wide range of services, including transportation of supplies and personnel, maintenance and repair of offshore facilities, and supply of equipment and materials. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the offshore support vessels (OSVs) market.

The global lockdown measures and reduced economic activity have led to a decrease in demand for oil and gas, which has resulted in lower oil prices and reduced investment in the sector. This has led to a slowdown in offshore exploration, production, and drilling activities, reducing demand for OSVs.

Additionally, the pandemic has caused disruptions to global trade and supply chains, leading to delays in the delivery of new vessels and the maintenance of existing ones.
