MARKET TRENDS 

• Financing of new projects is difficult for Indonesian Owners. Few new ship management 

projects outside the usual Pertamina sphere. 

• Lots of LNG projects are developing, however the basic infrastructure is lacking and needs 

to be developed.Many of the projects are interlinked, so it is important to follow all the LNG 

projects closely.

OFFSHORE MANAGEMENT 

12 

Jan Dirk Davidse 

MARKET TRENDS 

• In general the market is very depressed, at the same time there are opportunities to assist owners in 

distress. The low oil price is the reason for oil companies to lower the rates. Especially new tonnage 

is very much effected, It is expected that the oil price will maybe end up at US$ 25per bbls and stays 

there for a while. Expensive projects are on hold, or even terminated. 

• A developing trend is for traditional owners who are now looking for non-traditional ways to address 

their business needs to cut costs or improve efficiency. Traditional owners Farstad and Swire Pacific 

Offshore have made direct inquiries regarding oursourcing of services, and in particular Farstad 

have taken it one step further in tendering out for third party ship management services. This is a 

subtle turning point in the industry that needs further business development activity in order to take 

advantage of strategic changes of direction with vessel owners in the offshore industry. 

• There is still a market in West Africa, however the rates are very depressed, and oil companies are 

introducing a 30 day termination clause in new tenders, despite what they call long term ( 3 year 

++ ) contracts. Presently all Offshore owners are focussing on West Africa.Thome Offshore, Head 

of Operations visited several companies in West Africa, we are on a regular base contacting these 

owners, however there is not any positive result.Brazil is still in the turmoil with the Petrobras fraud 

affairs and together with the low oil prices we see more and more owners pulling out, eother by 

themselves, or due to termination of contracts. 

• Shell Brunei has launched a tender for a fleet of different vessels, mainly for maintenance of their 

platforms, but the contracts are not attractive. Bidders must accept an “on call” clause, and when 

vessels are idle there will be no charter hire 

• An upcoming market is the wind energy market, the North Sea is presently the main market, and 

very well covered by European owners with specialized ships and entry of new support vessels in the 

near future. Wind Energy in Asia is in a very premature stage. We have started a dialogue with the 

Energy Department in Brunei, we received the historical study results from wind availability, but it is 

just on the “break-even” point. We are following up, but it will be a long road. 



1 BSP / SPHI / Compass Energy BSP requires another 

work boat similar to Berani. SPHI / Compass are
