Seanergy Maritime Holdings has had to look no further than its own talent pool for the next chief financial officer (CFO).

The New York-listed bulker owner has chosen Stavros Gyftakis, finance director since October 2017, as its new top bookkeeper, taking over chief executive Stamatis Tsantanis' interim CFO role.

Stavros, 39, has more than 12 years experience in senior positions in shipping finance.
