Clarksons Platou Securities has identified a "compelling" market in OSV owners' shares after a summer sell-off.

Analysts Turner Holm, Fredrik Stene, Tobias Eckbo and Sven Sele also said in the company's quarterly oil services report: "After a brutal sell-off in August, OSV stocks now reflect asset values far below indicated levels by shipbrokers for secondhand market sales.

"As far as we know the gap between the equity market and secondhand market has never been bigger."
