• Bourbon: Offshore service vessel operator providing AHTS, platform supply, and subsea services to oil & gas customers. Comparable in offshore services segment, particularly Caspian and West Africa geographies.

Broad incumbents

• Tidewater: Global offshore support vessel operator serving oil & gas customers. Directly comparable in offshore vessel management for O&G exploration and production, though at much larger global scale.
• Svitzer: Global towage leader (Maersk group) with extensive port towage, salvage, and offshore vessel operations. Comparable in core tug services but operates at much larger scale across all major ports.

Regional players
