All about Transafe

A quarter century of commitment to safety, quality and expertise

We are proud to share that our colleague Wesley has been nominated for Young Port Talent 2026! A great recognition for someone who is deeply committed to developing people and organisations within the Port of Rotterdam.

In collaboration with STC Next, Transafe Academy delivered two intensive Terminal Management training programmes for Pertamina employees in Jakarta, Indonesia, in October 2025.

In 2026, Transafe Academy offers a broad and well-structured training programme for professionals in tank storage and terminal operations.

Effective 1 January 2026, the revised ES-TRIN will enter into force. This memo provides an overview of the key updates and the transitional arrangements for existing vessels.

On behalf of the entire Transafe team, we wish you a wonderful holiday season and a healthy, safe and successful 2026.

Important changes have been made to the classification of several Diesels and Gas Oils.
What does this mean for transport and for practical operations on board or at terminals?

Mathias Potvin, Terminal Manager at LBC Rotterdam, has been named Plant Manager of the Year 2025 — an honor that he insists belongs not only to him but to the entire team. We spoke with him about his new title and what it represents.

As the dealer for inland shipping, we listen closely to the challenges faced by end users. Their input shapes how Marad evolves and which functionalities are added.

The success of Marad depends on three factors: stable software, motivated users, and proper implementation. Transafe supports you in all three.

What does a structural review involve and what are the requirements?

We regularly receive questions about a "structural review," specifically what it entails and why it is necessary. With this memo, we would like to provide more detail.

With Marad, you get more out of your data. Custom reports give you control over processes, improve decision-making, and make it easy to share information with other systems.

We are proud to launch our renewed website: fresh in design, clear in structure, and filled with up-to-date information about our services, products, and expertise.

In this short film, we show what Transafe works on every day and how we support organisations in improving safety, quality, and compliance.

A consignor that only ships dangerous goods, but is not involved in packing, loading, filling, or unloading, is required under ADR/ADN/RID to appoint a Safety Advisor.

Mooring a vessel is a high-risk operation. A proper risk analysis identifies the specific risks involved.

As of 4 November 2021, Transafe has officially partnered with the TU Delft Solar Boat Team.

Shipping Technology and Simwave/Transafe have joined forces to reduce nautical incidents in inland shipping. 

The nautical crew of Titan LNG, provided by operator AMS, will follow an extensive, tailor-made training program.

In inland shipping, the competence of the skipper plays a crucial role, especially under challenging conditions such as poor visibility. Yet in practice, certification does not always guarantee actual proficiency.
