Alpha Marine Engineering SA

Based in the maritime hub of Glyfada, Greece, Alpha Marine Engineering SA serves as a specialized technical liaison between the Greek shipping community and international marine equipment manufacturers. Established in 1986 by Paul Makris, a retired officer of the Hellenic Navy, the company was built on a foundation of naval engineering expertise and a deep understanding of vessel operational requirements. Over the decades, it has evolved from a small consultancy into a comprehensive service provider, supporting both the extensive Greek merchant fleet and the defense sector. The company’s primary function is to represent global engineering firms within the local market, facilitating new building projects, retrofits, and the supply of critical machinery. Rather than operating merely as a generic reseller, Alpha Marine Engineering SA functions as a direct extension of the manufacturers it represents. This model ensures that shipowners and operators receive genuine components and accurate technical data directly from the source, eliminating intermediaries that might compromise quality or inflate costs. Operational capabilities extend beyond commercial sales into hands-on technical support. The company employs a team of engineers dedicated to the maintenance, inspection, and certification of sophisticated onboard systems. Their technical scope covers essential vessel equipment, including propulsion thrusters, compression systems, and environmental technologies such as incinerators and oil discharge monitoring equipment (ODME). This focus on environmental compliance and system efficiency allows them to assist operators in meeting stringent international maritime regulations. While deeply rooted in the merchant marine sector, the company maintains a strong relationship with the Hellenic Navy, providing specialized support for defense vessels. Additionally, through its industrial division, it transfers its marine engineering competencies to land-based petroleum and industrial applications. This multi-sector approach reinforces Alpha Marine Engineering SA’s status as a versatile technical partner within the broader Eastern Mediterranean maritime cluster.
