# Zephyr Maritime Limited
Zephyr Maritime is a specialist executive search firm exclusively serving the maritime industry from its London base. The company focuses on identifying and placing mid to senior-level shore-based personnel for organisations across shipping, insurance, classification and related maritime sectors.
Founded in 2015 by Alexander G. Tsavliris, Zephyr combines four generations of maritime heritage with contemporary recruitment expertise. This deep industry knowledge sets them apart from generalist search firms. The team understands maritime culture, regulatory frameworks and territorial nuances that generic recruiters cannot replicate.
The firm operates on a partnership model, taking carefully selected mandates where their interests align with clients'. This selective approach ensures focused, high-quality delivery rather than chasing every opportunity. Their network spans established relationships with senior leaders and influential figures across shipowners, P&I clubs, insurers, brokers and classification societies globally.
Zephyr serves two distinct markets: employers seeking specialist talent and maritime professionals advancing their careers. For employers, they provide access to vetted candidates across operations, technical, safety, finance, legal and claims disciplines. For job seekers, they leverage insider knowledge to identify genuinely suitable opportunities within their established network.
What fundamentally differentiates Zephyr is founder-driven service, intimate industry knowledge and access to talent pools unavailable through conventional channels. Rather than transactional recruitment, they deliver considered recommendations backed by proven expertise and genuine commitment to maritime industry success.
