    OCBC Bank's decision to take a bigger cushion on its exposure to the offshore support vessels and services (OSV) sector may signal the end of Singapore banks' forbearance for the beleaguered industry.

    The sector must go through a complete overhaul if it is to survive, said OCBC chief executive Samuel Tsien at a results briefing on Friday.
