Outlook of the anchor handling tug supply (AHTS) vessels market
Anchor handling tug supply (AHTS) vessels are specially designed to handle anchors for oil rigs, tow ships to location, anchor ships and oil rigs, and serve as an emergency response and rescue vessel. The increasing number of offshore oil rigs is one of the primary factors driving the growth of this market globally. Oil rigs are offshore oil platforms that facilitate the drilling of wells for exploration and production activities. The increasing drilling of offshore oil and gas reserves will lead to a rise in the number of AHTS vessels. Moreover, the maturing onshore oil reserves in the North Sea and the Gulf of Mexico will also result in an augmented demand for AHTS vessels. Technavio’s market research analysts have estimated the global AHTS vessels market to grow at an impressive CAGR of close to 14% until the end of 2020.
One of the emerging factors spurring the growth prospects for this market is the increasing adoption of LNG-fueled vessels. Since LNG is cost-effective, the market is showing a trend of using LNG-fueled AHTS vessels instead of diesel-fueled ships. LNG is a low-pressure gas and is well suited for AHTS vessels. The LNG-fueled AHTS vessels are also likely to reduce the costs involved in the operation of AHTS, thereby propelling this market’s growth in the coming years.
Segmentation by type of engine and analysis of the AHTS vessels market
- <5,000 HP
- 5,000 - 9,999 HP
- > 10,000 HP
During 2015, the AHTS vessels with engine power between 5000 and 9,999 HP dominated the market and accounted for more than 48% of the market share. The renewal of the jack-up fleet is expected to continue in this period, and floating production units are likely to enter service. The increasing use of these vessels will lead to this segment’s growth during the forecast period.
