Sectors

We have worked within port and shipping leadership teams and held board positions with organisations including OCIMF, SIGTTO and the MNTB. We understand the importance of confidentiality, trusted relationships and deep sector networks when identifying and approaching senior talent.

At this level, the right person is rarely found by simply advertising a role. They are identified through market knowledge, an understanding of the people who shape the sector, and the credibility to engage them discreetly.

Strategic Leaders. Proven Impact. We understand what is at stake in senior appointments. Our discreet, focused search process identifies leaders who bring stability, foresight and operational excellence: people with the experience, credibility and judgement to make a lasting impact.

We’ve worked as crewing business leaders, led technical teams, superintendents, fleet managers, HSSE and in various vetting roles. We understand the demands of ship management and the character and competence required to deliver it.

People Who Keep Ships Moving From the bridge to the boardroom, we match ship managers with professionals who can lead safely, efficiently, and with integrity.

Having led global commercial teams, we have deep and broad experience of recruiting voyage operators, agency, bunker purchasing and demurrage analysts.

Building Commercial Advantage We help clients build agile, results-driven teams with the right mix of negotiation skill, commercial insight, and shipping acumen.

We have delivered new build vessels and led site teams in multiple dry docks. With a wealth of current knowledge, we know exactly the skills required.

Precision Hiring for Technical Projects We find professionals who can deliver complex builds and repairs on time, on spec, and with strong site leadership.

We have worked alongside a broad range of maritime services, from classification societies to marine warranty and surveying. We understand the technical and regulatory expertise these roles demand.

Having been engineering officers, superintendents and marine technical leads ourselves, we also support engineering service teams and shipping company riding squads.

Specialists Who Know the Standards We find professionals who combine deep technical insight with the communication and stakeholder skills these roles demand, and engineers who can step in, solve problems fast, and hold operational standards.

We have worked at the sharp end of the port and shipping industry, as pilots, port managers and project leaders, including leading feasibility studies and developing industry best-practice guidance.

Through senior roles within OCIMF and its secretariat, we have also been directly involved in the development and stewardship of guidance including MEG and ISGOTT.

Shaping Resilient Port Operations We help ports strengthen their teams with people who understand safety, flow, and the commercial realities of portside operations.
