In 2022, the oil and gas sector yielded overall positive returns despite the backdrop of broad geopolitical instability and volatile energy prices.

Throughout the preceding operating period, INSB Class continued to provide focused service delivery and support in assisting offshore operators across various regions in addressing offshore regulatory compliance and operational reliability.

Geopolitical instability can have a significant impact on energy markets, including the oil and gas sector, due to factors such as supply disruptions, sanctions, and geopolitical tensions affecting global energy supply and demand dynamics. While positive returns in 2022 are a positive sign, the oil & gas industry remains sensitive to geopolitical developments and the ongoing transition towards cleaner energy sources, which could impact its long-term trajectory.

This involved assisting in the implementation of safety criteria backed up by carefully planned on-board attendances, tailored to operator’s time frame and geographical locations.
