0314 GMT - Marco Polo Marine stands to benefit from good demand and charter rates for its offshore support vessels, UOB Kay Hian analysts say in a research report. Oil-and-gas activities have continued to pick up, leading to solid demand for OSVs, the analysts say. Also, there has been a swift rise in offshore wind-energy projects, particularly in Asia-Pacific, where Marco Polo Marine operates, and the Singapore company will likely enjoy stronger demand for its OSVs and favorable charter rates, the analysts add. They raise the stock's target price to S$0.086 from S$0.070 with an unchanged buy rating. Shares are 1.6% lower at S$0.060. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
