Our Legacy & The Future of Leomar
Founded in 1993 by the visionary Captain Yevgeniy Peschanskyy, Leomar LTD has spent over three decades building a reputation as a trusted and uncompromising partner in the maritime industry. Captain Peschanskyy’s deep expertise, integrity, and dedication to the seafaring community formed the cornerstone of our company’s identity.
To honor his memory and ensure the uninterrupted continuation of his life’s work, Anna Peschanskaya (daughter of Capt. Peschanskyy) has consolidated the company’s core assets, technology, and proprietary database of qualified seafarers under Leomar Group LLC.
Today, Leomar Group LLC stands as the sole ideological and technological successor to Leomar LTD. This transition allows us to bypass administrative and legal barriers, ensuring that our clients experience the exact same seamless service, high retention rates, and operational stability they have relied on since 1993. We remain a proud family-driven business, looking forward to the future while strictly upholding the values established by our founder.
