flag Subsea vessel dayrates hit records in early 2025 due to strong deepwater demand, despite short-term volatility.

flag The subsea vessel market surged in early 2025, with dayrates for 150- and 250-ton AHC vessels hitting record highs above $60,000 and $80,000 per day, driven by strong demand for deepwater projects and contractor-controlled fleets. flag Short-term, project-based charters dominate, causing significant rate volatility. flag Despite a recent softening in dayrates and increased supply—over 30 newbuilds ordered, mostly in China—long-term fundamentals remain robust due to record EPC orderbooks, especially in Brazil and West Africa. flag A planned merger between Subsea 7 and Saipem to form Saipem7, expected by late 2026, aims to boost efficiency and market leadership. flag Leading shipowners report healthy margins, with higher dividends anticipated in 2026.
