UK company Briggs Marine has teamed up with Serco as a subcontractor to provide maritime services for the Royal Navy.

As disclosed, the contract will see Briggs deliver range safety and aircrew training (RSACT) services at a number of locations around the UK.

The subcontract is in addition to Brigg’s recent award of its contract to deliver moorings, aids to navigation, and target maintenance for the Ministry of Defense across the UK, Gibraltar, Cyprus, and the South Atlantic.

In the RSACT Subcontract, Briggs will deliver the range safety and aircrew training service from October 2025 for a period of 5 years. The service is a large part of the wider inshore support to military training, testing, and evaluation contract awarded to Serco.
