Sustainability
Our environmental impact has reduced significantly over 2022. The company has taken delivery of the first of four vessels commissioned in 2021 as part of a continued investment program to upgrade its fleet – in this case, utilised within the Port of Sheerness. The vessels are the first of their type fitted with IMO III compliant propulsion plant. They offer significantly improved emissions than the predecessor vessels.
In other areas, Briggs has reduced fuel consumption for its clients by 40% through selection of appropriate vessels as well as close monitoring of onboard plant and monitoring operator behaviour using remote telematics. The renewal of its fleet allows the company to achieve enhanced environmental performance, both in terms of carbon impact and quality of emissions.
Briggs is currently working with the Environment Agency on a project to substantially decarbonise its coastal water quality monitoring services, provided to them under Brigg’s long-term contract.
Since the introduction of the electrically powered Versi-Cat vessel from Water Witch in March 2021, ‘Medway Gannet’ has removed over 9 tonnes of debris from the waters around the Port of Sheerness.
Moreover, with the expansion of the Company’s environmental services into the North West region, instant oil spill response times will be implemented, ensuring the impact on wildlife and the environment is minimised significantly.
Briggs Marine continues to fulfil the challenges it has set for itself by its ISO50001 accreditation as well as researching opportunities for decarbonisation of the marine services industry.
Elsewhere, it continues to support Clients including Exxon Mobil and Essar who continue to work and deliver on a range of transitional fuels.
