    NEW ORLEANS, LA, May 08, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- What is the outlook for the offshore service vessel (OSV) market, and how many more new OSVs will be needed to service rigs entering the U.S. Gulf?

During the webinar, Krapf will share the details from the exclusive WorkBoat OSV Day Rate Report and the soon-to-be-released OSV fleet report.
