India Offshore Support Vessels Market Trends:

Growing Demand for Offshore Exploration and Production Activities

India's offshore exploration and production activities have created high demand for offshore support vessels. The requirement for specialized offshore vessels has increased considerably as India elevate oil and gas exploration in the KG Basin, Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea. In this regard anchor handling tug supply (AHTS) vessels, platform supply vessels (PSVs) and oil spill response vessels are key vessels deployed to transportation of equipment, materials and personnel to/from offshore platforms safely and efficiently. As a result of increasing investments in deep-water exploration, development of new oil and gas fields, drilling and production operations will require offshore support vessels. For instance, in January 2024, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) announced the commencement of oil production from its deep-water KG-DWN-98/2 block in the Bay of Bengal, 30 km off Kakinada. This development is expected to increase ONGC’s oil and gas production by 11% and 15%, respectively, boosting India’s energy security. In addition to this, government policies to boost domestic oil production and cut down on imports are likely to further drive demand for offshore support vessels, making them a prominent segment in the Indian maritime sector.

Increased Focus on Renewable Energy and Offshore Wind Farms

India is experiencing a movement towards renewable power, especially offshore wind power, creating a demand for specialized offshore support ships. The concern of the government to meet its renewable energy requirements has prompted an initiative for constructing offshore wind farms in its eastern as well as its western coastlines. For instance, in February 2024, the Government of India (GOI) announced a bid invitation for the development of 4 GW offshore wind capacity off Tamil Nadu's eastern coast. The tender covers four 1 GW blocks, designed under an open-access framework to enhance direct electricity sales to consumers. In addition, offshore support vessels are essential to the installation, maintenance, and operation of these wind farms as they serve as the indispensable logistics support to transport turbines and equipment, and maintenance personnel. Additionally, they play an important role when conducting environmental assessments, and geotechnical surveys before construction starts. Furthermore, as India continues to build capacity in offshore wind energy, the offshore support vessel market will require a higher demand for vessels which are designed to support the needs unique to renewable energy projects; this will include vessels capable of high-end technology integration, and environmental protection.
