摘要：	As construction begins on the newest U.S.-flagged service operations vessel (SOVs), companies looking to get a deal on a stacked platform service vessel (PSV) suitable for conversion for offshore wind service are finding the pickings a lot slimmer "With the oil and gas industry picking up in the last 12 months, I believe there will be less and less opportunities to convert these PSVs, as they are now becoming valuable assets," said Liviu Galatanu, managing director of Romanian naval architecture and marine engineering firm GOL Marine. Conversion made perfect sense when those vessels could be picked up for a relative song. However, as the offshore industry regains its footing afterthe Covid disruption, high-end PSVs once idled throughout the Gulf Coast and elsewhere are now nearly fully booked with offshore oil and gas work. According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), a new SOV costs upwards of $100 million or more and takes two to three years to build, while a conversion can cost half as much with a much shorter timeline.
