Mexico Offshore Support Vessels Market Trends:

Deepwater and Offshore Oil and Gas Exploration

A major factor driving the growth of Mexico’s offshore support vessels (OSVs) market is the surge in investment and activity in deepwater and offshore oil and gas exploration, particularly in the hydrocarbon-rich Gulf of Mexico. Following energy reforms that liberalized Mexico’s oil industry, both national and international companies have gained access to offshore exploration opportunities. These projects are expected to boost Mexico’s offshore production. With the surge in exploration and production activities, there has been a heightened demand for OSVs, especially specialized types such as anchor-handling tug supply (AHTS) vessels and platform supply vessels (PSVs). These ships are essential for delivering equipment, supplies, and crew to offshore drilling platforms.

Energy Reforms and Foreign Investment in Mexico’s Offshore Energy Sector

Mexico’s energy reforms, which began in 2013 and were further strengthened over the following years, are a key driver of growth in the OSVs market. These policy changes expanded foreign access to the offshore oil and gas industry, drawing major global players like Shell, Chevron, and ExxonMobil to pursue exploration in the deepwater and ultra-deepwater regions of the Gulf of Mexico. Additionally, the reforms allowed private sector involvement through joint ventures with the state-owned Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX), spurring further exploration and production activities. As a result, the demand for OSVs has surged, with the number of OSVs in Mexico’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) projected to grow substantially in the near-term. This surge is anticipated to boost the demand for specialized offshore support vessels, including platform supply vessels (PSVs), anchor-handling tug supply vessels (AHTS), and subsea support vessels.
