The North Sea AHTS market experienced a slow start to the quarter, as is typical during the winter season, partly due to lower activity levels and an influx of vessels returning from projects and other regions. Monthly average rates were on par with last year for January, lower in February and higher in March. At the end of March, the AHTS market was nearly sold out and rates increased sharply.
