About us

Anthony Giavridis Maritime Inc.

Anthony Giavridis Maritime Inc. proudly continues the long-standing tradition of the Giavridis family in international shipping. The original company, Theodore Giavridis S.A., was founded in Piraeus in 1967 by John and Anthony Giavridis. Under their leadership, it quickly grew into a highly respected and financially sound traditional Greek shipping company.

Following the passing of Anthony Giavridis in 1999, the parent company evolved into two independent entities: Anthony Giavridis Maritime Inc., under the leadership of Theodore A. Giavridis, and John Giavridis Inc. Each operates with separate organizations and philosophies, but both remain firmly rooted in the family’s values of integrity, quality, and resilience.

Since its establishment, Anthony Giavridis Maritime Inc. has steadily expanded its activities in ship management and chartering, acquiring modern tonnage and building long-term relationships with leading international charterers.
