Prospects for the OSV industry in Middle East are bright with strong long-term global oil demand and increasing offshore activity. Coupled with stabilizing crude oil price which is expected to exceed USD 100 per barrel, the market is back on track.

But challenges and uncertainties still persist, with an aging fleet, geo-political situation, security and crewing issues that need to be addressed.
