We focus on senior and executive appointments across shipowning, chartering, ship management, maritime finance, commodities, ports and trade. This includes board members, C-suite executives, commercial leaders, technical superintendents, general counsel and functional heads.

Our executive search mandates are conducted on a retained basis, allowing us to invest properly in market mapping, assessment and confidential outreach. Selected specialist recruitment assignments may be structured differently depending on scope and urgency.

We operate from London and manage mandates internationally. Our network spans the United Kingdom, Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific and the Americas, reflecting where maritime leadership decisions are made.

We advise organisations across shipowning and operator groups, chartering and commercial shipping, ship management, ports and logistics, maritime finance, commodities and trade houses, legal and insurance, and offshore and energy transition.
