I think all should be prepared this whole OSV Business is pretty dam shafted from the moment. Nonetheless at some stage at sometime in the future somebody who picks up all of the scraps for nothing will be able to make a good business and a good business case.

However if there is a benefit of having gone through this downturn it in some senses the best quality company might become an apparent opportunity.

From my research the best opportunity seems to be the US / Swiss company Transocean which is stock code RIG.

For those that don't know check out the movie deep water horizon to gain a good feeling about this company is.

Transocean has a halfway decent balance sheet and seems it is likely that it will actually survive the downturn.

So in my opinion only buying Transocean doesn't sound like a bad idea in particular if your purchases are quite small and spread over time.
