The Briggs Group became involved in the marine industry in the 1970s, providing workboats to marine construction works. By the 1980s, it was providing vessels and manpower for oil and gas terminal operations across the UK. Briggs Marine established Briggs Environmental Services Ltd in 1987.
Since 2000, Briggs Group has moved into subsea services, renewable energy services, moorings, environmental consultancy, survey work and diving services.
In 2007, the group secured a 15-year, £100-million marine services support contract to provide navigation buoy maintenance and mooring support for the Royal Navy. To service the contract, Briggs Group commissioned the new MV Kingdom of Fife, Briggs's flagship vessel.
