ALPHA BRIGGS is based in Malta at a strategic location in the Sicily Channel separating the Mediterranean Eastern basin from the Western basin, With the current sea borne traffic in the Mediterranean exceeding 280,000 vessels annually, the oil & gas activity in North Africa, the busy STS area just offshore Malta, and the busy sea lanes from/to North Africa crossing the East/West traffic routes the base in Malta is of strategic importance. ALPHA BRIGGS supports the newly formed OSRA INTERNATIONAL group of oil spill response companies based around the Mediterranean.
OSRA GREECE operates an oil spill response base in Piraeus, and is preparing to establish its second base in Tessaloniki in Northern Greece. The area of operation of the Company covers the sea traffic moving to and from the Black Sea. The numerous islands in the Aegean Sea have been the cause of a high incidence of marine casualties in the region. OSRA GREECE supports international salvors operating in the area, as well as local authorities in the protection of their national environment.
