Fast growth in demand for service operation vessels is expected in the near-term and in the longer term, both in existing markets such as Europe, and elsewhere, such as the US and Taiwan. SOV designs are evolving quickly, but charterers want more environmentally friendly designs, designs tailored to the needs of new markets and to the ability of shipyards around the world to build them. The preserve of European designers until recently, SOVs are now being designed around the world with export markets primarily in mind.
