Budget cuts by Mexican national oil company Pemex are having a knock-on impact in the Mexican Gulf of Mexico.
Mexico's Cotemar Group, which works for Pemex, has said it will suspend use of Norwegian accommodation vessel provider Prosafe's Safe Regency mid-March, and that the Safe Lancia will also likely be suspended mid-March.
