This tightness subsequently led to South East Asian rates finally beginning to increase in 2H2023.Despite the rising demand, major OSV companies are still hesitant to invest in new vessels, emphasizing capital conservation and concerns about vessel longevity in the context of the ongoing energy shift towards renewable fuels for propulsion. This indicates that the upward momentum on charter rates will continue.Company OutlookWintermar expects the strong performance to be maintained throughout the remainder of 2023. Charter rates are rising, but have not yet recovered to levels seen in the last peak. We expect the demand for high tier OSVs to gradually drive charter rates higher in the coming years. There is a structural shift in upstream oil and gas investments which favours offshore over onshore. In view of the high levels of approved investments in offshore through towards 2028, this recovery is likely to continue for the coming few years.As at end of September 2023, the Company's Contracts on hand amounted to US$76 million.About Wintermar Offshore Marine GroupWintermar Offshore Marine Group (WINS.JK), developed over nearly 50 years with a track record of quality that is both a source of pride and responsibility that we are dedicated to upholding, and sails a fleet of more than 48 Offshore Support Vessels ready for long term as well as spot charters.
