Компанія Tidewater, власник та оператор суден забезпечення морських платформ (OSV), уклала остаточну угоду про придбання всіх акцій, що перебувають в обігу, Wilson Sons Ultratug Participações (WSUT) та її дочірньої компанії Atlantic Offshore Services. Вартість угоди оцінюється приблизно у $500 млн.

 

Згідно з умовами, Tidewater викупить усі акції за грошову винагороду, профінансовану за рахунок наявних коштів компанії. Наявний борг WSUT у розмірі близько $261 млн буде рефінансовано в межах угоди.

 

Закриття угоди очікується наприкінці другого кварталу 2026 року. У результаті придбання Tidewater поповнить свій флот на 22 OSV, а після завершення операції загальний флот компанії сягне 213 суден.

 

Угода також суттєво посилить позиції Tidewater у Бразилії, збільшивши її поточний флот у країні з шести до 28 суден. Крім того, компанія матиме 19 OSV бразильської побудови, які, як очікується, отримають пріоритет під час роботи на бразильському ринку.

 

Придбання WSUT додасть до портфеля замовлень Tidewater близько $441 млн. При цьому чимало чинних контрактів укладені за добовими ставками, що істотно нижчі за поточні ринкові, тож Tidewater очікує помітного зростання прибутку та вільного грошового потоку у міру продовження контрактів.

 

«Після аналізу світового ринку та оцінки різних регіонів ми дійшли висновку, що Бразилія, ймовірно, є найпривабливішим ринком для Tidewater», — заявив президент і генеральний директор Tidewater Квінтін Кнін. Він додав, що з огляду на довгостроковий баланс попиту й пропозиції на офшорні судна в Бразилії та потенціал залучення міжнародного тоннажу, ця угода дає Tidewater унікальну можливість скористатися ринковою динамікою.

Iran has announced a new initiative aimed at strengthening control over the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical oil shipping routes. Authorities introduced the Hormuz Safe insurance platform, a system that could significantly expand Tehran’s influence over maritime transit in the region.  According to Iranian state media, the platform developed by the Ministry of Economy will issue digital marine insurance policies and financial responsibility certificates for vessels transiting the strait. The system relies on cryptographic verification and processes payments in bitcoin.  At the initial stage, the scheme will cover risks such as inspection, detention, and vessel seizure, while damages caused by military strikes or weapons will remain excluded. Iranian officials estimate the platform could eventually generate more than $10 billion in revenue for Tehran.  Alongside the launch of Hormuz Safe, Iran is also increasing its administrative control over the strait. The naval forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that all vessels must now submit mandatory cargo declarations to the newly established Gulf Strait Affairs Authority before receiving transit approval.  Shipping companies are required to disclose the cargo type, origin, destination, operator identity, and full voyage details. For tankers transporting oil from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, or Iraq, this means providing commercially sensitive strategic information directly to Iranian authorities.  Under international maritime law, the Strait of Hormuz is recognized as an international transit passage where ships have the right of free navigation. However, Iran is not a party to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. More than 100 countries have reportedly criticized the new framework as incompatible with international maritime law, though no naval force has yet physically challenged the declaration requirements.  Meanwhile, tensions in the region continue to rise. Maritime intelligence company Windward reported heightened activity linked to the IRGC, including the presence of fast attack boats, patrol vessels, dhows, and coastal craft operating in and around the strait.  According to analysts, the Strait of Hormuz is increasingly functioning not as a normal shipping corridor, but as a highly monitored and controlled maritime zone shaped by military presence, surveillance, and enforcement operations.
