2025 Global OSV Market Report

Jul 2, 2025 | Case Studies

Get the latest data on offshore vessel operations, performance, and environmental impact.

Offshore operations continue to evolve. In a market shaped by energy transition, rising efficiency targets, and shifting contractual dynamics, knowing how your vessels perform is no longer optional but strategic.

Opsealog’s 2025 Global OSV Market Report gives you the data you need to drive these changes. It’s based on operational logs, fuel tracking, and activity profiles across hundreds of Offshore Support Vessels (OSVs) operating worldwide.

Why this report matters

There’s no shortage of opinions about the offshore vessel market. But facts are harder to come by.

That’s where this report comes in. We’ve built it on real fleet data to give charterers, shipowners, and operators a clearer view of where the industry stands.

What’s inside

We benchmarked OSVs based on:

  • Fuel consumption
    Compare real-world fuel profiles across vessel types and operational modes.
  • CO₂ emissions
    Understand how your environmental footprint compares and where you can make improvements.
  • Idle time vs. productive use
    Dig into standby time and identify patterns that impact cost and readiness.
  • Speed, transits, and activity distribution
    Analyze how different vessel classes move, wait, and work in the field.

Smarter planning starts with better visibility

From AHTS to PSVs and MPSVs, Offshore Support Vessels don’t operate the same way. Their operational profiles vary widely depending on region, charter terms, and logistics constraints.

This report helps you:

  • Set realistic performance targets
  • Justify operational decisions with clear metrics
  • Monitor environmental impact with greater precision
  • Support contract negotiations with reliable benchmarking

Built for the offshore industry

This report is a technical benchmark tailored for professionals managing or relying on offshore fleets.

Whether you’re managing logistics in West Africa or chartering vessels in the North Sea, these insights can support your decisions.
