• We stay upbeat on Marco Polo Marine as 3Q23 revenue and margins validate that the outlook continues to trend in the right direction.
• Marco Polo Marine remains in a sweet spot to deploy and operate its first commissioning service operation vessel (CSOV) in FY24, in an environment where such vessels (used to build offshore windfarms) are in short supply.

• Supplementing the offshore windfarm sector’s growth in ship chartering would be higher demand for offshore vessels in the oil and gas (O&G) sector. With increasing regional O&G exploration against tight supply for vessels, both utilisation and rates should further support growth.
• Marco Polo Marine’s shipyard is also currently operating at close to full capacity. Productivity and expansion can further support growth.
